HAPPY HAPPY!!! JOY JOY!!!

I am constantly amazed by how much *STUFF* the folks on this forum know!!!

It's places you go to frequently.....home, work, etc. And it engages about 1/4 mile from that destination. Even if you aren't going to that destination, only driving by it, you still get the benefit of EV +

Hope the installation goes smoothly this time!!!! Love your car's name, BTW.

The funny thing is.....I drive by the grocery on my way from home to work, and vice versa, so I get double the EV+ distance out of that location.

I have 4 EV + locations now....work, home, the grocery in town and my dealership HAHAHAHA!!!

Wonder why they don't have one in Detroit?!!

Welcome mnrobitaille! You have way more miles on your car than many of us. What has been your experience so far?

I am there too asb, but I'm in Michigan. I'm seeing a significant jump. Could be weather, could be upgrade, could be premium gas......could be a combination. Whatever it is, I'll take it!! I'm loving seeing 46.9 on this tank!

WOW, something else to look forward to! At least I have this forum to refer to for solutions to things!! I wouldn't know where to turn otherwise!

****Playing the theme from The Twilight Zone in my head**** (Don't remember the theme from Rosemary's Baby!)

WOW, that is a long wait Chryssa! Let the countdown begin!!! Keep us posted!

ikaldridge, What's the latest on your car?

:lol2: I get that "She must be nuts!" look all the time when I wave to the C-MAXs that I see around Ann Arbor! Luckily there is is one of Asia's running buddies who has ordered one.....a 2014! So I'll have some direct info on that, plus one that I can look for to wave at!!!! :arrive_alive:

OK, I'll try this again.....I tweaked the original post. :dance: That's what I meant by *How's that?* It just didn't show up immediately following Laurel and Noah's post.

It doesn't show up on mine.

That's just amazing SDM!!! :worship:

How's that?

So excited for you MMM!!!

Hey Laurel! They haven't come up with anything better yet, so I'll go with that! In fact, I'll even suggest it when/if they call me back. Sorry, losing my sense of humor about this now.

Happy, Happy Birthday Matt!!! Congratulations :congrats: :on surviving another trip around the Sun!! Hope it's a wonderful day! :clapping:

Melty and non-SYNCy Laurel, sorry to say. Waiting for a call to see what's next.

My vote is based solely on 2 *road trips* of 480 miles r/t each, and the 25% highway driving I do each tank of gas. The 2 road trips were virtually identical....leaving from the same place, to the same place, over the same highway, with similar loads. The main difference was temperature....April vs. July.....and use of AC. The trip in April averaged 40.7 mpg for the tank, using minimal AC. This trip, from July 7- July 9, averaged 40.2 mpg, using AC for most of the way, set at between 71* and 73*. The driving on both trips was split about the same between Jerry and I. I kept the eco-cruise between 67 and 70 and Jerry between 70 and 72. These were on pretty flat, smooth, new roads. I think if we'd kept the MPH closer to my car's *sweet spot* of 67-68 we could have done better, but on the way there.....we wanted to GET THERE, and on the way home we wanted to GET HOME! 47 City is easily doable on my daily commute. I think 44 is realistic, depending on terrain/weather/driving habits, etc. Still and all, I have no complaints. I've learned new ways of driving and new stuff about my car. I do not feel cheated by Ford or the EPA.

I find it hilarious that my C-MAX considers my dealership as frequently traveled enough to warrant EV+ designation! :lol2: (Thanks Robert Lane for the new Emotis!)

No, no gas can, but at the end I was never very far from gas stations.
