Re: '13 C-Max Energi

Hi Rick

The Energi is way over the salesman's head at this point in time, that's why I got a good deal on mine. I test drove a 303A package with 44 miles on it and the average MPG was only 18mpg....

Re: '13 C-Max Energi

Hi Carl

I know the SOC gauge does not work and I don't use other xgauges. Just found this SOC gauge James Delong said would work on my C-Max Energy. Haven't confirm this yet.

Re: Ford’s Fusion Energi Earns 5 Stars and Now with an Even Lower Price
