You know, this would be better answered in the Energi Forum. This forum is for the hybrid. It sounds like an electronic heat regulator has gone south. A dealer visit is advisable.

The worst mileage I've gotten is about 32, on a 250 mile uphill run over the continental divide in Arizona. That was unusual, but it was mostly uphill. At 80, I generally get 36 MPG over the 800 mile trip from LA to Albuquerque.

2016 has the rear glass deflectors as well.

How often did you rotate the tires?

In my case, they made it worth my while. I would never have been able to get the tax rebate on my own - that was a major factor. That was the main point of my post, responding to a post about not being able to claim the tax rebate. Mine was a complicated deal. I had to turn in my former lease 6 months early - the miles were really weighing on my mind, and now they don't. But they gave me 12K off in rebates, and also covered 1/2 of the lease turn in fees. I considered buying out the lease immediately, but it is much better to finish the lease and then buy - about 30 bucks per month better. So I didn't finance it. You are correct, all things being equal, it is generally better to buy. EDIT: There is one other factor - with a lease at this residual, I can walk away from the car if it turns out bad. I don't think it will; my 2016 Energi is a nicer drive and just seems all around better than my 2014 was.

Unless you lease. Then the money comes off the purchase price. I'm leasing my 2016 for three years, then buying it on a three year load. Actually cheaper than buying it out right.

Make sure you use a good quality USB stick. I had one that didn't work. It got part way and then hung up. I switched sticks and it worked fine.

You can change the title, go into advanced edit.

You know, that was a direct cut and paste, but I was in a hurry and didn't put in the URL. So of course I can't find it now.

Not sure where the information on a 2018 C-Max came from, here is what I found: Ford will stop selling the C-Max in the U.S. after production ends at Michigan Assembly Plant in 2018, with the Model E effectively fulfilling its role.

10 years / 150K miles for cars sold in CARB states, like here in CA.

The only thing I can think of on the CR-V was that he was on a slight slope when he refilled at the end of the trip, that would have shown less gas used. I had a 2003 and it got about 26 on the highway. 45 is actually very good for highway, I suspect that bumper traffic helped a lot. On my Energi I am lucky to get 40 on most routes. At 80 MPH it gets about 37. But most of my driving has been at 70. Keeping it at 65 will help a lot.

I could never handle the rough ride of a Mini. And somehow, they just seem so small... EDIT: I just looked up the weight. They current ones go up to 3700 lbs. Thats a lot of metal to get up to speed.

I can think of two reasons: 1. Your phone will receive power. 2. A USB connection is faster.

Energi owner here. The Energi uses the same heating loop, but when in EV mode, it uses electric to heat the fluid. Once it gets to ICE mode, it uses the same loop, but heated by the engine. When in EV mode, the temperature gauge shows the loop temperature. It reduces range by about 1/4 or so, similar to the electric A/C.
