I just reserved.... MAX MPG 1 Should be here in a month or so. I will post pictures after the plates come.

I just found an interesting post over at syncmyride. It states that to get 3.5.1 we will need our PCM( Power Control Modules) flashed to work with 3.5.1. The poster claimed unnamed sources but this is the first credible rationale I have heard.

I too am seeing increased MPG's and my car is not yet broken it, only 1400 or so miles on it. My tank average right now is 50.0 MPG and I am showing around 55 to 48 MPG on most trips with an occasional 42 MPG when I drive into a strong wind. I am very happy that the temps are going up and my MPG is going up with it!

Welcome! I too am a former Prius (04) and Camry Hybrid(08) driver. This car is a lot of fun and better car even with the odd missing features.

I saw a green one on my way the school this am. They were unloading some stuff out of the liftgate. They were so busy I am not sure that they even saw me gliding on ev up the hill.

Well I gave up on this tank when I found $3.41 gas. But I am prepared for future attempts as I have my 2 gallon tank. I put in 11.02 gallons so the system seems to be right on.

Not as good as Jus, but here is my entry…

Many more trips like this one and I might just make the 600 mile club on this tank... Just as soon as I get a backup can of gas :)

As far as I know the only display of those stats is on the shutdown of the car. What some folks have done ( including myself) is to use trip 2 to keep a running total of stats. I am unaware of any way of accessing the lifetime info other than on shutdown.

Hi all, So to those who have hit the 600 mile club what should I be shooting for as far as per tank MPG. I am getting right now about 45 mpog for this tank. Will I be able to reach the vaunted 600 mile mark. I do realize that I still need to break in the car, I just got over 1000 miles last night. But I really want to join this club :worship: . Any info on what I need to shoot for would be appreciated

Today driving in to work I worked really hard to keep my battery SOC high. There are some really long level stretches of road near the end that is perfect for EV mode. I have found that keeping the battery charging is sometimes very difficult. It is a fine line between charging the battery and discharging it when the electrical motor assists the ICE. Has anyone figured out an easy way to stay in charging status? I suspect it will be a continual balancing of pedal and acceleration/deceleration. I did manage to get the battery to full (one of the first times I have seen that) and was in EV just over 3 miles near the end of my ride. Thanks for any feedback.

I just moved over from a Camry Hybrid that had keyless entry and every so often I used the key fob there, this continues with my Cmax but now that I can open the back doors with the keyless entry I believe that even this seldom use will be diminished. I hate it when I rent a car that only has keys. Just like others it is an inconvenience when the door won't open at my. Magic touch :)

I could be wrong but I don't believe there is any way for us non nav MFT folks to get that option even though the car has an onboard gps reciever.
