Recently traded in my 2016 SEL Hybrid at 85000 miles. 48.8 AVG MPG. Picked up a 2024 Escape Plug-In Hybrid and am loving it.

Wow 300k that’s great. Have you had the transmission replaced under warranty? I’ve only got 75k on my 2016 SEL Hybrid. Only issue is the backup Camera started flaking out, need to get that fixed.

This is great information. I’ve been considering something like this as a backup for my small power wall at home. I would use something like a Victron Orion DC-DC charger to charge my 24V system with the C-Max 12V. I’m assuming the Hybrid and Energi have the same DC-DC converter, anyone able to confirm?

How to Drive a CMAX Hybrid/FFH to get Great Gas Mileage
joshg678 replied to ptjones's topic in Hybrid Driving Tips & Tricks
My 2016 SEL has 62,300 miles on it, currently up to 48.6 MPG, i was about to cross 48.8 before winter hit and just went down to 48.6 the other week. I'm hoping to get 49 by next fall. I would be higher, but i have lots of spirited driving, and i like to have some heat. My Dad just traded in his 2016 SE for 2022 FEH Plugin. I'm going to keep my C-MAX at least till 100k, then maybe I'll go full EV (Tesla or Rivian) -

Hot Dog, i forgot about this site for a bit. My lifetime is at 48.6. I'm hoping to get it up to 48.8 this year. -
Its only happened when cold.
-
That is Exciting information (some what sarcastic). On a serious note, thank you for it. IT seems to only happen when the outside temperate is at or around 32F. I'll see if it has any pending codes next time. I'm tempted to see if i can hook up multiple Scan gauges, so i could have one showing my TPMS, and one showing Temperatures. It looks like you can connect a second one (daisy chain) but I've never tried.
-
So unfortunately I've been having to park outside the garage for a while, and I've noticed some odd behavior with the ScanGauge. Not sure if its the SG or the car, but when its about 32F or less (and the ICE has to start) the TFT will show 849-850F for a few seconds, then switch to a realistic number, and then back again a few times. No CEL or anything. Mostly just wanting to report to see if anyone else have seen this. Picture was after a minute of running, WT was up to 69F(nice) from 32F at startup.

My AVG MPG hit 48.2 before I went on my trip. Family and I went to Disney World (1,600 miles round trip) and drove her car (19 Chevy Traverse) no way we would all fit in mine and averaged about 25 MPG doing 80 MPH on the interstate. -

Went up to 48.1 today after today’s trip to customer site. It’s Northern VA so I don’t always have the ability to get to 100%, people here are jerks. -

joshg678 replied to ptjones's topic in Fuel Mileage
I'm still at 48.0MPG on mine, been really hot lately here and I don't handle the heat well so i always keep my car at 73, so i've had a lot of trips where the Trip MPG wasn't too cool (pun intended) Still typically getting 52-55MPG in the morning to the office, but other shorter trips and afternoon is where i get 48MPG, or less some times. Going to get my car tinted soon. -
