ptjones Posted April 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I'm still trying to get mine to 47MPG, stuck at 46.9 for months.Are you using Premium and 50psi tire pressure? If not that will easily do it. :) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshg678 Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Are you using Premium and 50psi tire pressure? If not that will easily do it. :) Paul No Premium, its 20-30c a gal more expensive, not worth it. Yes i have tires at 50.I usually get 50-53 on my daily to work and back, but its only 30 miles a day. What keeps bringing me down is when i have to make trips through the mountains and i average 40-42. I'm happy with where i'm at, i could do better but i'm fine with where its at.

SnowStorm Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Paul leaves 47 in the dust! That's still crazy about the maxed out EV total. Are you recording EV miles for each fill-up so you can add up the correct total? ptjones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptjones Posted May 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Yes I'm taking a iphone pic each time I fill up, but have been to lazy to add it up. :) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still stuck at 49.0. With 200k on the odometer it takes some real hypermileing to push that score higher. Go for the Gold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptjones Posted June 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 It took 4500 miles which works out to 6.5 fillups. :) I haven't reset my second trip gauge and with 55k mi. I have 53.5mpg so 52.5 actual mpg. So I'm thinking about 5k more miles I will hit Life Time Score of 50 mpg. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptjones Posted July 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) Well I made it to 50 mpg Life Time Score with 205k miles and I hope this encourages others to keep on trying. :yahoo:Paul Edited July 17, 2018 by ptjones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowStorm Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 So how do we catch Paul? Curiosity got the best of SnowStorm so after some hybrid algebraic shenanigans the following equation blew out the tailpipe: ME = MN*(RT/RN - 1) / (1 - RT/RE) where: ME = "Miles Extra" or number of extra miles I must drive to catch up with Paul! MN = "Miles Now" or present odometer reading RT = "Rate Target" or fuel consumption rate (i.e. MPG) that I want to get up to - my "target" MPG (e.g. Paul's 50.0 MPG) RN = "Rate Now" or preset fuel consumption rate (i.e. Lifetime MPG) RE = "Rate Extra" or fuel consumption rate (i.e. MPG) I must maintain while driving the "extra" miles. SnowStorm is presently at 48.9 Lifetime MPG with 160637 miles and wants to get to 50.0 MPG Lifetime by driving at 55 MPG. How many miles must The Enterprise cover to catch Paul? Simple! :) ME = 160,637*(50/48.9 - 1) / (1 - 50/55) = 39,749 miles! Oh dear, I have to drive for over a year at, maybe, 10 mph under the speed limits! Relax Paul, it ain't gonna happen! :sad: Disclaimer: Calculations not guaranteed - use at your own risk!

ptjones Posted July 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 "SnowStorm" LOL and it only gets worse, I expect to be at 50.2 mpg by the end of the year, maybe higher. :) This is so much FUN. :) I noticed on my trip to Maine and back I averaged 53mpg using A/C about half of the time. :) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowStorm Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 That's what I figured! So to get to 50.2 by the end of the year (about another 15k miles) I'd have to get around 70 MPG! Still ain't gonna happen!(But don't let me stop you!) ptjones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuelMiser Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 In addition to the money you save with the CMax, you can also get rebates at the pump every time you fill up your car or anybody else's car. Just run this app before you fill up. Claim the gas station and then send in a picture of your receipt. The next day or so they rebate money back to you. You can cash out and get a check in the mail or they can send you money via PayPal. https://upside.app.link/tZsp0zL0HO Only use this on a smart phone. This only works for credit and debit. So don't use cash. You can get like $.20 to $.30 cents off per gallon. You don't have to buy or sell anything. It's like free rebates that you're be giving up all this time and will now be able to get them. As far as I know, this may not work in Georgia, but it works in most parts of the country. If it doesn't work in your state, post it here so people don't waste time installing it. It seems to work in major metro areas. I use it and all my friends are getting money back every time they fill up. It was on 103.5 WSHE down here on the radio. obob and ptjones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptjones Posted August 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Well it happened again and only in 2500 mi./one month, New 50.1 mpg Life Time Score. :yahoo: Just shows you that even with 207k miles your average can keep going up if you work at it.. :) Obviously this is the time of year to do it.

TwoRVPC-MaxSEL Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 We have had our C-Max SEL since May 2013 (Brand New) and Have Just Tripped 200,000 Miles Yesterday! Our Lifetime MPG is around 42, but do much better if I,m able to run about 5 MPH below Speed Limit. My wife drives it to work and usually drives it about 4 MPH over the Speed Limit. Since she drives it most of the time then she is the on effecting the MPG. Brake Score is 87 and our Regen Miles is well over 60.000 miles!

With about 212k miles I only have about 10k Regen braking miles, but 112k EV miles. :) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptjones Posted October 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 And it just keeps going up. :) Life Time Score 50.2 mpg and Fuelly.com average 49.2 mpg, 55.5 mpg average for the last 10 fill ups. Also I haven't reset trip 2 in about 76k miles and My Smart Gauge average is 54 mpg. Bottom line is even with 212k miles on the Odometer you can improve your Life Time average MPG's if you want too. :) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mocnarf Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 I have a 2015 C-Max Hybrid PlugIn and I only drive only short distances and plugin whenever I stop. so I seldom ever use any Gas. My MPG is averaging over 300 MPG which I believe is miss-leading. I don't believe the formula the computer is using takes into consideration the cost of a full charge. I figure the cost of a full charge is about the same as the cost of a 1/3 gallon of gas. I am able to go about 24 miles in EV mode before it will switch to "Hybrid" mode. So I figure my true MPG should be 60 to 70 MPG. Does this sound correct to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
