  1. Think I will make it to 900 miles on one tank?

    Came up 22 miles short. Got the warning message on the freeway. Lucky I had enough momentum to exit safely. From there it had limited power for me to pull off to a lot to add a gallon that I had ready in the bed. Made it 81 miles after 0 mte. I don't know if I would have made it to 900 but the...
  2. Think I will make it to 900 miles on one tank?

    The most I have ever made it on one tank is 830 miles. But this the furthest I have gotten before hitting zero to empty. So if I am actually at 13.8 gallons used I should have about two more gallons to go. Is it worth it? What's your guess on my decision and final MPG at the pump (3 clicks full)
  3. 800+ miles per tank club!!!

    My current tank. Should I go for 900?
  4. Hybrid red positive battery terminal cover

    I broke my red battery cover when I was connecting my subwoofer. While I was still able to use part of it to keep the + terminal from making contact with the rear wall the the larger battery cover has been doing fine. Just don't put any tools, or any other metal in there because a good bump...
  5. What is something you wished you knew before buying your first hybrid? Positives or negatives

    I wish I knew what the sweet spot was for the electric motor ( ≤ 45mph). While I was able to adjust my commute without adding too much time (Added only about 5-10 min), I thought the electric-only mode would be on more at freeway speeds. This could also have been affected by the choice to have a...
  6. Black Maverick Lobo Spotted at Randy’s Donuts Ingelwood CA!

    Are the Ford emblems on the grill and tailgate illuminated? Also, isn't having the rear lights darkened illegal in some states? If so, how did the Ford legal team let that slide as stock.
  7. Entering Service History in FordPass App

    Hi Everyone, I'm not sure when the FordPass app was updated, but last week I changed my own oil but was unable to enter that in the FordPass app. Did they remove that with the resent app update or am I just not looking in the right place? I had done it before and can still see the previous oil...
  8. Which Android Auto Dongle Is the Best

    I have a Motorola MA1 and it worked great for about 2 years. It did crash and reset whenever I drove by certain communication areas, such as airports, police/fire stations, and radio towers. I'm guessing that whatever frequency those used caused the dongle to crash. A few weeks ago it just...
  9. MPG with primarily 'in city/town' driving?

    I do about 80% City, 20% Highway and have about 51 mpg for just over 2 years of ownership. One caveat is that I leave early for work, before 6 AM, so I usually cruise thru the city on all green lights going about 40mph the majority of the way. On the way home I take the freeway, but I consider...
  10. Hybrid hypermillers: What data / gauge screens do you monitor?

    Don't use anything besides the Instant MPG reading. I lock cruise control at the speed limit. If the ICE comes on I accelerate about 5-10mph faster for a min, then let it coast back to the applied cruise speed. It will usually kick back to electric mode.
  11. Products for better Aerodynamics (Truck Tails)

    My teeth aren't getting any whiter because I keep drinking coffee. My dog is old and happy, and this wont help her arthritis. Cholesterol is ok. Hell no I wont stop adding bacon to everything. I know the mpg improvement will depend on how much it reduces the drag coefficient at higher speeds...
  12. Products for better Aerodynamics (Truck Tails)

    I randomly came across a product to help reduce the amount of drag on the tailgate of any truck to add about 2 mpg. The product never made it past the kickstarter promotion but I am interested if anyone has come across anything that would help with aerodynamics, weather it be on the tailgate...
  13. 700+ Miles Per Tank Club

    I think you have the new high score. You could probably make it to 900.
  14. 800+ miles per tank club!!!

    Just had my best tank ever! 58.2 mpg. No doubt if I kept going I would have made it to 900 mpt, but I got stuff to do and am not trying to get stranded. On Normal mode by the way. Just got tired of having to switch to eco so I did not bother on this tank.
  15. 700+ Miles Per Tank Club

    Either you have won Lithium-ion lottery, or you have figured out the most efficient daily driving style/route. I assume you did not strip down the school bus and super hipermile to do this. Maybe next time you get similar mileage you should try to be the 1st to reach 900mpt. Anyone else even...
  16. 700+ Miles Per Tank Club

    When you hit 0 MTE you still have about 2 gal left. Pending on how far you are from a gas station, driving habits, or if you carry a can with you, just fill up when it estimates under 50. That way if you have an emergency you can still have that last bit a range.
  17. Are there any bay area Maverick meet ups?

    I willing to meet if it's closer to the Southbay. Maybe in early July?
  18. 700+ Miles Per Tank Club

    Wow I have never had it estamate over 725 miles after filling up.
  19. 800+ miles per tank club!!!

    Well that long traffic trip was on a segment of I-580, which was used by Mythbusters for a episode about traffic. It is used by many in the central valley that commute into/out of the bay area for work. Yes, that LA traffic sucks. There is even traffic in some areas at night, and weekends.

    I'd rather join that club.
