C-MaxSea Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) Drum roll............... no big deal, but I'll post this because I need someone to help me get the Fuelly tag line to attach to my posts. Odo 616 minus 115 at delivery for 501 miles. 11.92 gallons of Chevron (reg.) on flat surface, center notch speed of delivery, perfect shutoff, a couple drips on fender (argh - my fault) = 42.0 mpg - YIPPEE! (This was with the dealer fillup at Shell, assume they did not 'top-off') This was relaxed driving, 40-50 deg. F, mostly freeway (guessing 70%+-), mostly sov/light weight (me) I will do a search for the Fuelly tag line stuff.

asb Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'm on my second tank and hit 44. But the temperature has dropped dramatically today. And I noticed that my mileage dropped yesterday when it spent the day in the shop getting the windows tinted. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-MaxSea Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Thanks all. Yes Jus, Im afraid I've got it - the MPG bug; or is it the mutant gene somewhere between competition & tight-wad? This game we're playing might get some of us locked up! Nick (Exc. asb! I have noticed my 'Lifetime' continuing to climb from 41 to 42/43, and now pushing 44 - EEEK, my right foot is itching for a ride) My inspiration: http://www.fuelly.com/driver/seamax/cmax Edited February 17, 2013 by C-MaxSeattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAZ Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Couldn't wait to drain a whole tank so on the new MAX with only 40 miles on the odo did a 49.9 mile trip today on flat roads with temp at 40, winds at 20 and only touched 70mph once to see how it handled: 42.2mpg.

There you go...if you can hit 42MPG on such a new car, you wonder why those DODOs :runaway: at CR can't hit 38MPG in a well used press car. Well done, it only gets better :rockon: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-MaxSea Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Nice start Jaz! As they say, "today a 49 mile trip at 42mpg, tomorrow a 42 mile trip at 49 mpg". I keep getiing 10/20/30 mile trips coming in at 45-50 mpg; lifetime crept up over 44 today - probably cresting out, but then again........?
