Thanks...glad to hear another Canadian's opinion.....I've been averaging 7.8L/100km ut it's been cold as hell in Calgary for 2 weeks straight.

I was recently riding in cab that happened to be a Priuis....the guy was getting in the 5s during a similar cold spell which caused me concern.

Last summer.....a solid 6.2L/100km on a long run average....various trips I'd be in the mid 5s 

Heats on as it was too damn cold to not have it on....windows would frost over from the inside

I'll be curious to try the grille covers

It's actually warmed up to about 24F....I'll do a comparison

OK...ran the Engineering Test Mode this morning

Outside temp -18C or 0F

Coolant before I started the engine was at -6C or 21F

Left the house at 60C or 140F

Trip to work was 18km or 11.2 miles one way

 4 km/2.5 miles - 69C or 156F

10 km/6.2 miles - 67C or 152F

14 km/8.7 miles - 70C or 158F

17km/10.6 miles - 63C or 145F

18km/ 11.2 miles - 64C or 147F

Highest temp noted  74C or 165F

Lowest temp note - 55C or 131F

Very interesting...not even close to the operating temp for the ICE based on what I've read on the forums

Sorry for the post but want to get to 5 so I can private message about the grill covers from PTJones

Thanks C-maxSea......hopefully Canada brings in a good haul this time...so far so good!!

You need to talk to my wife as she's the baby from North Carolina originally...I like it cold!! :)

I will try these tips....29 just seemed so low

Thanks for the tips....I'm guilty of the heated seats but damn...they are cold in the morning!

I know the whole cold air impacts and weather.....I thought the update we received covered off closing of the grilles...

It's a learning curve.....it's not the silver bullet I thought it would be.....much better than my Smart Car...

Fair enough

I'm not trying to maximize the electricity side but I'm not gunning it.

Average 30 miles per hour

Daily trips downtown to work 25 miles round trip

Weekends...sometimes on the freeway at 60 so let's say average of 45MPG

Roads are clear 

Just joined the site as I'm starting to get really upset about my mileage on my 2013 Cmax....I have 16,000 kms....or 10,000 miles on .

It has been cold for a long time up here in Calgary, Canada (averaging -4F in the daytime) but I'm average 29 MPG in the city...7.9 L per 100km.

During the summer, the best I could do was 6.2 L per 100km  or 37.9 MPG.

Something seems to be wrong having read all of the awesome MPG for other users....
