Our C-Max was to be ordered today after we "signed up" at the dealer last night. Their allocation slot was ready for ordering so maybe it will be sooner than 6-8 weeks. Can't wait! It will be our first hybrid. My wife and I make 500-650 mile trips and are ready for better mileage than the RX300...

Here is an excellent writeup by Hybridbear, member here and he's a Moderator at the Fordfusionhybridforum.com, a "sister" site to here. What's it all about? Our C-Maxs and the Ford Fusion hybrid share the same hybrid platform. There is no difference. As such, both platforms have to "warm up" the i...- 29 replies

Hi all, I've had my C-Max for about a month now and was loving the MPG - I was typically getting around 42 on most trips. Shorter trips I could commonly pull off 50+. I tried plugging in an Alexa auto to the central console 12v port and found that I was getting significantly less efficient MPG. I...

Here are the the facts from all the testing been doing. 1. FORD said in Hotline Assistance Request that The Approx. engine Operating Temp should be 202-212deg.F 2. The best MPG temp range is 202-230deg.F 3. Starting with cold ICE and outside temp from 37-70deg.F driving hwy loop of 14.1mi you...

"The Enterprise" needs wheel alignment (inside edge wear). Does anyone have the alignment specifications - preferred values and allowed ranges for each parameter both front and rear? What values would give the lowest rolling resistance? Have read that the allowed ranges are not just a "tolerance"...

Just came across a June 1961 Science and Mechanics magazine (35 cents!) with an article "How Economical IS the Rambler American?" It had the 196 cu. in. flat head 6 with 3 speed manual (didn't have the overdrive option). The fine print test data filled an entire page! Some highlights: General roa...

I have been Posting on CleanMPG.com Link: http://www.cleanmpg.com/community/index.php?threads/46762/ Complaining about a road test comparison done 4 yrs ago (old News I know), but I figured how they could have made the CMAX MPG's look bad by running the ICE all the time. The results were CMAX 35...

I'm wondering why Fuelly.com shows the C-Max averaging about 41 MPG while Fusion Hybrids get 40 MPG average. (That is over many, many owners and thousands of miles of statistical validity. Measurement errors and driving styles/cycles average out over that many.) The EPA combined MPG estimates fo... -
Just did a trip to Cape Cod and back (560 miles one way). Filled up in Mystic, CT to the end of Cape Cod (Provincetown) and driving all around the cape for 5 days and headed back. Filled up at the bottom of the cape and was 44.5mpg leaving the cape (Said 607 miles to empty) , didn't quite get that...

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 Disp...

My Hybrid turned into an Energi for a mile and a half, I haven't noticed this before in 140k miles. On Lighthouse quest last weekend stopping in Pompano Beach, FL, my HVB SOC was 67%, surprisingly high and when I got back to MADMAX the HVB SOC had gone up to 76% from cooling down for an hour. When...

It has been pretty quiet on the MPG Forum so I thought I would Post this to get some more interest in improving your MPG's, If you aren't in in a hurry, Sight Seeing works great you can get impressive FE. I use State Routes instead of Interstate Highways with speed limits 55-65 mph. When you do Po...

I have about reached the limit for AERO and Temperature Efficiency Improvements like Grill Covers and Wheel Covers for my CMAX. With temps in the 80's*F I can average 50-54mpg at 65-70mph with no A/C on the HWY. Not bad, but I'm still looking to improve more. I remembered someone had said the IC...

After using NOS Octane Booster Racing Formula a month ago and five fillups later my HWY FE has increased 2-4 MPG. It doesn't appeared to improve City MPG much. This morning I went to the Atlanta Airport and back on I-85, about 70 miles, Temp 56*F with some light rain. Speeds were between 80mph and 6...
