ScubaDadMiami Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 This is only my second tank of fuel. Right now, I am at about 620 miles, with the Range showing about 40 miles, and I am still in the yellow on the gas gauge. (I could be off a little on the numbers, but I the math comes to about 660 or 665.) Tank Average is 50.0, though it bounces back a tenth or two in one direction of my daily commute. Is there any shot for 700? How far past 0 Range can we go? Remember, I use air conditioning 100 percent of the time (73F). So, throw in the fudge factor for that in your calculation. I definitely was on the way to 700. Unfortunately, the Fourth of July holiday killed my chance. I went on the highway, and I went to unfamiliar areas. Ugh! :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoyx Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 On our second tankful we got about 15 miles after 0 miles. Had my gas can and took 13.545 when I filled it up. So I was really running on fumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frbill Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) First off sounds like you are doing great for just getting the car. I suggest you look at the trip counter you are using for this tank. It will show you miles driven, avg MPG and gas used. Compare the gas used to your last fillup. The difference should give you how far you can go +or- 15 miles E.G. My Last (and First) 700+ tank I knew I had put 12.57 gallons at my last fill up so that is where I called it a tank. I probably had another .93 gallons but I did not want to test that limit. Good luck but like I said above this is a great start on your MPG OCD journey. Check out the 600+ thread for useful info and encouragement. http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/1025-600mile-cmax-club/ Good Luck Edited July 10, 2013 by frbill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDadMiami Posted July 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) My numbers come from the Trip screen plus the Range screen. I filled this tank after I was in the yellow on my last tank, as soon as I crossed 600+. That was my first and only tank. So, this is unknown territory. While I was in the yellow, I needed about 12.6 gallons, from my recollection. Sounds like I won't make it. Maybe I will be able to hit 700 after I break in the C-MAX a little more. No way will I turn off the air conditioning to try to make it. Edited July 10, 2013 by ScubaDadMiami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
