marshtex2 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 My last two fill-ups look like this (odom now just into the 13,000 miles): Miles on tank: 689 660 Gallons actually put in: 13.5 12.8 C-Max mpg readout: 53.0 52.9 Hand cal’cd mpg: 51.0 51.6 Not much hypermileing but just driving and accelerating rather slowly, mix of suburban and some on highway. Didn't get any pix of the C-Max screen. C-MaxSea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbov Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Not much hypermileing but just driving and accelerating rather slowly, mix of suburban and some on highway. ...it is just "practicing" the techniques that you fine folks have documented here until it now has become quite natural.... The car does all the work of pulse and glide, all the driver need do is back off cresting a hill but charge the battery going up it. I'm almost looking forward to Winter this year... can't believe I said that... to see how much better I can do this time around. Heater(s) planned, but it's still the first year (my baseline period started last Labor Day). My son's flying in tomorrow and we have tickets to the Buffalo Bills game on Saturday. I plan to fill the tank on the way to the stadium and let him drive to see how much is the car and how much the driver... my last NFL game was the Eagles c. 1970 at the University of Pennsylvania stadium, so I suspect he knows the route and NFL game procedures far better than his old man. I'll just pay the bills, to see the Bills. Have fun,Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here I was sweating over all the work with P&G when I should have known the car did it all....what sweaty a fool I have been when I could have kicked back :doh: :sing_rain: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kostby Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 A minor mileage and mpg improvement on the first 600 club numbers we posted last month. 618.8 miles on 12.40 gallons for 49.7mpg calculated by the car. Discovering that 67.5mph high ICE sweet-spot helped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-MaxSea Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) Got caught 'hitting the sauce' the other day. ('secret sauce' that is) Now would that be ECO Saucing or ECO Socking ??? Nick (actually just ECO Cruising, allowing the car to select between ICE, EV, and High ICE (secret sauce), this may have simply been a transition) Edited August 22, 2014 by C-MaxSea Jus-A-CMax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowStorm Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Nice "Ecomiling"! (And relax Jus - we can't tell how hard he's working that other foot! You can P&G on top of cruise control!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-MaxSea Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) Good point Snowstorm, although my 'controlling' habit is more with my left hand rather than the right foot on the freeway. Using the cruise control toggle, I sometimes 'click' down/out of the ICE a little early cresting hills, and sometime click up the ICE revs/vehicle speed on some inclines. Almost certainly a waste of time, and perhaps detrimental, but it's entertaining to think it is helping. ;) Edited August 22, 2014 by C-MaxSea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmmvmmm Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I actually got 630 out of my last tank, but I forgot to take a picture before my wife reset, so the only proof I have is my memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtb9153 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) I almost got another 600mile tank today but ended up short at 581.0miles of which 354.0 were electric miles. The best Maxus has done in 6 or more tanks, brought my fuelly.com back up to 44.8mpg which really makes me happy.

ptjones Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 You could have made it, did you just chicken out? LOL Did you ever compare your GPS to your odometer? Mine is off by 1.019% with new tires. You where probable short by 6-8mi. Oh well, there is always next time. :) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-MaxSea Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Kudos, welcome & cheers to many more RobNews ! With that low miles, it is just getting warmed up! Just noticed - New Brunswick, Canada, do your best to keep the new C-Max warm & enjoy. Nick Edited September 5, 2014 by C-MaxSea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
