I have made three YouTube Videos for driving a CMAX the way it was designed to be driven Called How to drive a CMAX Hybrid to get great gas mileage, Also CMAX Mods to improve MPG's and Hypermiling to improve MPG's. Efficiency and Aerodynamic Mods: The First thing to do is to raise your tire pressure of your Michelin's to 50psi which is safe to do and I got 64k miles for each set of tires on my CMAX. :) Hypermiling Video not recommended for those who can't focus on institutional awareness of traffic around you all the time. Let me know what you think, any improvements. :) -
I was trying to wait until I'd burned at least one full tank of gas following the update, so here goes. Prior to the update I was regularly getting 46-48 mpg averages, and now I'm hovering between 42-44 at most on the same basic trips as before. Nothing has changed in my driving habits as before, not using heat/ other power sources, etc. Ford engineers advised that it takes 30 days to "break in" the new update before it stabilizes, but I don't like the direction this is headed. Anyone else observing the same? I'm not saying I'm dissatisfied with FE overall versus my Subaru, but I thought this update was supposed to IMPROVE FE. What am I missing?

I just recently purchased my new C-Max about a week ago. I have been reading a lot about this FE update that a lot of you have been posting about. First, a little history about my C-Max... I know that it was probably built in Oct. 2012, and has sat on the lot for a long time for some reason. It had 100 something miles on it when I purchased it. Apparently, it hadn't been touched in a long time since it was covered in dirt and the battery was dead. Now. How do I know if I have received the update or not already? According to etis there is software information available for my car but, when I click on the link it says the info is currently unavailable. I've tried on two different computers/days. So I am not sure if my car has been updated or not. How do I know what version it is etc?
