Sitting at the light beside a Prius

[C-Maxgo]

This afternoon my husband and saw a Prius sitting at the light beside us.  When we turned to look at him he smiled and gave us the thumbs up.  That made my day!   :happy feet:  I was so proud of Max.  My husband rolled down the window and asked the man how much mpg he gets.  He said that he gets 50 mpg going 55 mph and about 43 in the city.  Then we told him our averages.  We waved again and shh....ed on down the road.   :shift:

43 in the city is poor imo, the CMax easily does 55+ MPG around the city at the 35mph speeds assuming you don't hoon red light to red light as most idjiots here ;)

that must have been a classic moment. I would of showed him up off the line to show him the CMax's torque capabilities. ;)

It kind of felt like I was a teen in my boyfriend's car getting ready to take off as fast as we could but this time neither of us burnt rubber. We just purred away.

Hee...sounds like 2 grannies in Oldsmobiles racing each other to the next red light at 8 mph.... :hysterical:

 

I am sooooo dead :sing_rain:

Not mine Jus not even close lately.  Maybe 40 but not for long as it just falls lower in a 1/2 mile or so.

I'm trying to imagine the race scene from Grease as if they were racing for Pinks, except with the one with the best MPG winning.

prius would win mpg battle;

cmax the range, 0-60, torque and style battles hands down

We are all on the same team for FE and the environment.  I prefer my C-MAX, but I don't down anyone who is doing his/her part.

As much as I hate to say it, the most environmentally beneficial action is to keep an old car running as long as possible.

So who's going to be first taking a C-Max to 1,000,000 miles? :shift:

And who's in the lead, anyway?

Well I'm not a high-milage person but I hope to keep it for 10 years.

Probably will be a taxi driver.

so much this.  i have only been in that position once, and i don't think the prius guy/gal even considered punching the gas pedal, lol

I live in New York...you just don't look at the other drivers when you stop at a light.  You just kinda pretend they aren't there.

Yea I think I would stick to your normal habit of not looking.  People are more relaxed down south where I drive in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.  I'll remember to keep my eyes ahead while driving in New York.  Is that just in New York City or all over the state?

Right now we're sitting at 28,751 miles after having our C-Max for 9 months. At the ten month mark, it would not surprise me if we are at the 31,000 mile mark.
