RUG just went up 12 cents overnight.

Could Ford have gotten the results of the EPA test results?

Noticed the same drop in mpg with falling temps, this week when we hit 70 degrees I got this;

Sony HD system in my SEL is not the best I've heard. No comparison to the Fender Audio in my Passat.

Hello neighbor welcome to the C-Max club. I negotiated my tint as part of the deal otherwise would have probably gone with Huber Optik or the 3M. Let me know how well it works this summer when we hit those 100+ days.

The problems I have are not that complex to fix and the dealer has been excellent.

My Dad was a manager at the HEB bakery when we lived in Corpus Chrisiti, always did our shopping there.

This could explain the block heater, looks like a good option to have anywhere. http://www.muni.org/Departments/health/environment/AirQ/Pages/EngineBlockHeater.aspx

Mine started doing that just before the "Check Filler Inlet" light came on permanently. Now even at the slowest flow rate I can't pump more than a gallon or two at a time. I can usually fill no more than 3/4 tank before the pump will not go any more. Ford dealer says a redesigned part should be here next week and this will be my 3rd time for a fix.

I like the part where the reviewer calls the Prius a tin can.

As others have stated the Consumer Reports makes a big deal of Ford Hybrid performance in cold weather while glossing over how poorly the Prius performed.

Welcome to the Club fellow C-Max and TDI owner.

The manual doesn't mention any time zone settings except for Nav equipped vehicles. Maybe this is fixed in 3.5.1, I have an appointment with my dealer tomorrow for my Fuel Filler Inlet problem and will check on the update then.

I have that sound too with climate control off. I always thought it was the stepper motors positioning the radiator shutters.

The EPA stated there were no reports on C-Max mpg until the Consumer Reports article. I chalk most of it into herd mentality and group think column. How else could you explain the one poster reporting 32 mpg avg in a Venza. What a joke.

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="ptjones" data-cid="6811" data-time="1358710167"><p> I would have thought you would see big jump up at 62mph being able to go into EV good percentage of the time. I know I can stay in EV at 63mph and at least get 50mpg with covers at 70deg.F. I also think CMAX would catch up with PriusV by 50mph.</p></blockquote> Those curves are converging fast, would be interesting to see an honest Prius mpg report @ 75 mph.

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="Arthur" data-cid="6817" data-time="1358712175"><p> May be that your AM ~ PM setting was wrong, I set mine and that corrected it.</p></blockquote> This happened to me once, corrected AM/PM to the right value and have no problems since.

Those chart numbers look very close to what I have observed. I have extended that test up to 75 mph where it drops to 32 mpg with 40-45 degree ambient temps
