Now that I got your attention :) it would appear from Fuelly.com CMAX Average MPG results that alot of CMAX drivers aren't driving their CMAX's the way they were designed to be driven by breaking the 2 Bar Acceleration Rule. :drop: To get the best gas mileage you need to Drive using the Empower Display 2 Bar Power Acceleration Rule where the ICE runs the most efficiently and charges the HVB the fastest. When driving you can use a mild Pulse and Glide strategy by accelerating at 2 BARS to around 5 mph over the speed you want to cruise at then let off of the accelerator for a second to allow EV to engage then back on to maintain speed until HVB SOC gets low enough for ICE to start then accelerate at 2 bars to 5mph over and repeat. :) This is worth atleast 2 MPG's and probably more. :yahoo: BTW covering up the grills is worth another 2-4 mpg. http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/970-cmax-grill-cover-testing-2-5-mpg-gain It would be nice if members would comment on their results. Happy CMAX Motoring :) Paul
