Jus another market research CMax gathering...

Maybe it was sponsored by Toyota. :) -
What's in your C-Max today?
homestead replied to C-MaxSea's topic in Cargo, Hauling, Roof Racks & Towing
We bought a new washing machine, didn't want to pay for delivery and install so told them I would haul. Was driving C-max at the time but I also have a long bed truck if it wouldn't fit. Folded the rear seats down then opened up the back of the C-max and slid the carton right in and closed the hatchback. There was no extra room, perfect fit. Didn't get a picture at the time but I still have the empty carton so snapped a couple pics. -

Hmmm, I wonder who added that note after the package came? ;)

Anyone getting better MPG with the new update?
homestead replied to armoredsaint's topic in General Discussion
Made a trip this weekend from portland to seattle drove 60-70 mph got 50.0 mpg for the trip up there. Not going to count the trip back because the weather was horrible, rained the entire trip. Made the same trip a couple months ago pre-update and got 45.0mpg. So a 5 mpg improvement but I am sure some of that was vehicle breakin improvement. Car only has 3333 miles on the odo now. I like the update, car was getting 48mpg around town prior to the trip. This car keeps getting better. -
Yeah the guy in the video made it look too easy. Lets us know how it works out.

Check the current spec labeled on the power supply is less than 1.3amps input power.

Wonder why fusion hybrid isn't getting the rebate, fuelly shows they are getting about the same mpg as c-max ~40mpg.

Ok , time for full disclosure, what was your mpg going up that mountain? ;)

Anyone getting better MPG with the new update?

My mileage also continues to increase since the upgrade, was getting about 44.5 mpg pre-upgrade and am now getting about 48.5 mpg on my 2nd tank since the upgrade. -
Run the car diagnostics and after you view the results on the web page it will let you know if you need a sync update.

Here is what my car is doing at 2800 miles. This was a trip running mostly at 55-60 mph, no ac. Mpg is still slowly improving with breakin and update. I believe the update is helping 2-3 mpg. Current tank is running at 48mpg mostly in town driving.
-
Any idea what the state of charge you had on the hybrid battery for each of these trips, that may help explain some of the variations.

Was the oil dirty on your first two changes?

Spotted this spare tire for C-Max on ebay, free shipping
-
Ha, 43.33 MPG US am I right?
-
Curious what everybody is getting for their current Lifetime Average MPG? Mine is 44mpg with 2300 total miles. I reset mine at about 200 miles. What is yours?
