plus 3 golfer Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 EPA should do a cold weather (40 and below) and hot weather (70 and above) for this car. Ha, ha wishful thinking.The EPA does include a cold weather test (City - Cold Temperature) with ambient at 20 F and a hot weather Air Conditioning test (SC03) with ambient at 95 F along with the City test (FTP), Highway test (HWFE or HWY) and a High Speed test (US06). The problem is Ford only runs the FTP and the HWFE and estimates the other data. For example, for 2013 the data submitted by Ford for the C-Max and for Toyota for the Prius C is shown below. One can then put the Prius C data into the equations below and compute the EPA HIghway rating. But it's not that easy for the C-Max as Ford doesn't run all the tests. obob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
