Just want to update this thread,,, as i haven't been able to test my max on interstate driving... Its mainly wifes car..  :)

I have to agree with above posters.. I got to drive around few (>10 )miles on different route in city.. i could

see the trip mpg to be 41mpg.. this is post tire pressure update...but later after few days its back to 38-39 range

so definitely driver's driving affecting MPG... Im sure i can get it to near 42/43 with my driving..

will update post if i see any improvement or otherwise..

Thanks guys for all your suggestions. i will read through the 13B07 thread;

Also i need to check the psi on the tires,, it could be low.. but i believe should be minor factor...

i will update this thread for your questions and will try out the interstate run to see if ice shuts down or not..

happy cmax'ng.....

bob!!

I checked that already, i have only 12M02 and 14B03... nothing else... is there any other way to check if there has been update for better mpg??

All,

I got used 2013 C-max with around 22k miles ; now with two weeks in my hand i never got anything more than 38.5mpg with all the hypermilling i could do and following all the tips and techniques posted on this forum, (no A/C; P&G.. etc..) in city driving (15miles) The max i could do is 38.4mpg... Im not expecting for 47mpg but atleast 43 to 42 would make me happy...  this is still 4-5mpg difference.. I researched and found there was update to improve the mpg; how to check if my car has that update??  Also noticed the ICE would turn on as soon as i hit 30mph... never able to run car with the battery alone above 30mph... also when i take off foot from pedal and let car glide (shows EV sign in display) I sometime hear the ice running, its not off completely... not sure if this is the cause and if it is how do i fix it...?? Shoud i give call to dealer...

Thx all for your inputs...

bob!

Thanks everyone for their response.

@ Plus 3 golfer :  I should have read other thread on that issue; so its extension of warranty then i dont have to go to dealer.. my MFT software is uptodate. Thanks for your feedback

@Ashley : Since 12M02 is extension of warranty for MFT software; i dont think i will need to go to dealer now;; will definitely contact you if i need to visit dealer for service and require loaner...

happy cmaxinng..

Have you guys got loaner cars while  your C-max is in ford dealership for whatever reason (recall, maintainence etc...) I checked two dealers in my area and they both said there will not be any loaner cars unless you have signed up for maintainence plan with loaner coverage,  and i dont have that since mine is  used 2013 C-max and there is  I was thinking of getting 12M02 Outstanding Feild Action done and checked with dealers around my area...

BTW Great forum, with great knowledge..

Thx!!
