Seth7721 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 These two C-maxes are hurting the Ford C-max hybrid's bottom line MPG. I really wish Fuelly would fix this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HannahWCU Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Actually the first one is probably accurate. If you notice the country he is from, looks to be from France. In Europe, the Cmax isn't a hybrid and he uses the name Brand Cmax which is a European model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoBro2 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 The Grand C-Max is a larger, 7-passenger vehicle. There is a separate listing for the Grand C-Max in Fuelly. This one is in the wrong place. The other one is a diesel, which is sold in Europe. Using the Engine Type filter to show only Hybrid L4 "should" weed out all of the other types of C-Maxes.

Jus-A-CMax Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 I usually refill on Saturday. I will take a picture then. I expect to hit between 710 and 730.Awesome, nice to see another CMax hypermiler here with frbill, orphoto, Matt and I. If you feel inclined, perhaps you won't mind dropping some driving tips in a thread here. We still have many members here striving to break the 600 so I like to get the high milers here to help out. Matt has done one and so have I - and let me point out the Matt is also doing some aero mods as well and the 1st to break the 650 & 700 barriers. Just to help the other drivers achieve... I just saw you post - yeah, I am from Los Angeles (San Fernando area and the temps here are constant like you but no humidity). Matt is Illinois and right now hes in a good climate but it does get cold there. It makes sense a Florida driver will get this as well - and great news to have the whole country covered west coast to east coast. Yes :happy feet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seth7721 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I just posted my numbers to fuelly. I noticed my gallons used rating in slightly off though. I only put 12.5 gallons in the tank and it says I used 13.05. Although I passed the 600 mark this week im so sad I didn't hit 700. :gaah: :sad: :nonono: Jus-A-CMax and moytoyx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asb Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Florida 97 degree weather is a great help in getting those 700+ mile tank. Where in Florida are you, and what kind of driving are you doing? I'm in Orlando and drive mostly on the highway. I'd be happy to hit the 500 mile club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsaguy Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) i ran the data on Wed to calculate some numbers but note you should ALL be using the the filtered search on Fuelly for not only the 2013 model year but to filter only the "hybrid" ones (using the pulldown) , so you know you have valid data and not bogus data that does not apply.many folks have no clue when reporting their data.on Wed there was only 152 vehicles in this filter of hybrid cars and not the 220 shown in your screenshot.in my filtered data the ones called "Grand CMax" and "Charlie Max" were not included. They are part of the 2013 model year sample but not part of the smaller hybrid only sample. don't forget they are still selling them overseas so... I'd rather use 150 valid data points than 200+ suspect data points. as long as fuelly data is self reported wee will continue to have these issues but make sure you are looking at the correct data first.

salsaguy Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Seth this is common to see this discrepancy between car dash gallons and the fuel pump gallons used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotomoto Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Agreed on the need to "drill down" on the fuelly website to get rid of some of the chaff but there are still "issues". I went through the 100's under the 2013 CMax with "hybrids L4" designation looking for averages around 30mpg and lower. The majority of these were winter tanks and then the drivers quit entering data so their better summer tanks will never contribute to the national average. Folks like these: http://www.fuelly.com/driver/jbn/cmax http://www.fuelly.com/driver/nonni/cmax http://www.fuelly.com/driver/cmaxal/cmax Oh well.......
