Hi there I have 2013 SEL. I live in Central Ohio and my milage is in the upper thirties in the winter months also. I have found that 50 degrees is the magic number. Ounce the outside temp is 50 or above the milage jumps way up. The attached photo is best I have been able to get. (33 miles on the freeway at 70 mph). I see you where wondering why your engine was running even with 3/4 battery. My guess is the heater was on at the time. The engine has to run to warm up the coolant for the heater. I doesn't run all of the time but the colder it is the faster the radiator is cooled down. Hang in there

I drive mostly highway at 70 mph. I get upper 40's to 50 in the summer. Low 40's in the winter. lowest ever was 38mpg with temp below zero. Just hit my best last month 52.6 mpg. This is my drive to work 32 miles at 70 and 1.4 miles on city streets. I have a go pro cam that I record my trips so I have the 52.6 mpg video saved. I would upload it but file too large

So Ford is going to not build a hybrid version of the cmax for the states. Wonder if that means no cmax for Europian market also. Is Ford going to make a new hybrid or just make ev car only? Maybe make a current model into a hybrid rid so that you have a choice if you don't want an ev? How about another escape hybrid? That would be a good option to Cmax

Congrats and welcome fellow Ohioan. Hope you 2 love your CMaxes as much as me. These cars come with lots of options so any questions just ask

2 1/2 years and 39,000 miles nothing yet. I use Dr. Jackson's leather cleaner conditioner made by Tandy Leather on my seats. Been using it for many years on saddles, bridals, shoes, boots and leather jackets. They also have a leather restorer that can make the driest leather shoo†h as a babies bottom.

I saw a chevy truck at last years auto show. This company (VIA MOTORS) buys the v6 version of chevy truck. They pull the transmission and replace it with a cvt and electric motor combo. They add batteries under the bed and use the v6 motor to charge the batteries only. This makes an ev truck with range extender gas motor. They also add power outlets onto the side of the bed that can run everything from power tools to air compressor. Would be great on my farm. I could work on fences with the power from the truck. The gas engine would keep the batteries charged while I work. Only available as a fleet vehicle now. Cant wait for someone to make one like it for the rest of us.

Had mine 31 months just over 36,000 miles on her now. No problems except with some reprograming issues. I love my Cmax. Even with the cold winters here in Ohio my lifetime average is 43.7mpg. :wub2:

Hello I have a 2013 SEL 302a package CMax. I'm getting 45.2 MPG lifetime average with 70% of my driving on the freeway at 70 mph. I'm getting 48.6 on current tank, but cold will soon be here and my average will drop to 43 + or - through the Ohio winter weather. Texas you shouldn't see much of a difference. I've noticed that 50 degrees and above milage is great. Below 50 and it starts to drop. No problems so far mechanically 37,000 miles and still grinning. Did have some issues with one of these reprogram updates not taking properly. They had to reprogram my car completely from scratch to correct the problem. Congrats on your new CMax. Hope my info is helpful.

Just had mine replaced 2 weeks ago. Took about 3 hours.

Mine fell off just the other day. Haven't had time to mess with it.

My echo hitch was easy. No drilling required. Just had to remove 2 bolts on the muffler and install the longer bolts that came with the hitch plus 2 other bolts that had holes already in the frame from the factory. There is a metal tab that had to be bent over so the the hitch would fit. pliers and hammer no big deal. Took me about 30 mins to put it on by myself.

My sel I can turn the headlight switch off. I can then start the car and headlights will stay off. I noticed this a couple of times after being serviced. The service tech will turn them off while they work on the car inside the service bay.

I have a 2 inch echo hitch with this glide away rack on it. No problems after 2 and half years and counting.

No problems 34,000+ miles

2013 SEL leather 203 package. No pocket. Must have just added it in 2014. Also Did you notice the area under the rear seat. I keep a full size golf unbrella under there. I slides in just below the release to fold down the seats on either side. I love that. Just open the back door and there is the umbrella. I also keep my ice scraper and brush under there.
