Just don't get a DUI! ;)

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.

Haven't heard that, this is latest on the lawsuits I could find. http://www.topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/4321-ford-hybrid-fuel-economy-class-action-lawsuits-consolidated-in-mdl

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? ;)

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.

I think that will work but how does the phone know what resolution to send to the MFT screen? Also this would be display only to make any changes you would have to use the touch screen on the phone rather than the MFT screen.

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?

Go to this website and find the highest rated ford dealer for service in your area.

Hope they didn't have a problem with the 13B07 update that they have to rev the software again.

Ok, my car came with 3.5.1 and was built 2/18/13 and I did install via flash successfully and was registered as installed so why does does ford website say I need to go to a service center to install 3.6.2?

Hmm , That doc also shows 13171 as 3.6.2 for c-max I looked at supportford website for my sync history and it shows this... Date Downloaded: Aug 4, 2013 Version: Gen2 - V3.6.2 But the part about not being able to use a flash drive is puzzling. Have you called Ford on this?

Found this Ford doc which states that 13171 is 3.6.2

I put fresh air in my tires every few months, that along with the ruby red color I figure buys me 2-3 MPG more.

I think you are right on the money.
