I just turned 20k miles on the car and also got the 10k ev award so I'm 50/50. Everyone will say something different. I'm a oil guy. I change oil in my diesel every 3k which holds 16qrts. Fresh oil will help your motor....sure you can change it later but it's not going to help the motor. Also I don't see a change in my mileage. I drive rough terrain so maybe a mpg or something but not noticable.

I understand it's the net the question was is it what was drawn from the battery from the charge or total. You can regen a lot of charge. Especially on my commute. I go over two passes

Ok. So on my ford mobile under the trips tab next to the battery that kWh reading is what my battery is holding? It read 5.6 last trip.

Yes but that's total kWh used not just what the battery initially held with a charge.

Where does the cat keep track. I'm trying to see what the battery is holding.

I was trying to see how many kWh my battery was holding now that I'm at 19k miles. I noticed there was a thread on here about people posting what they were getting. My question is does my ford mobile state the total kWh used that drive including regen or is that what the battery held from one charge? On the trips and trends tab.

Before I was avg 50-51. It's 110 mile commute and I charge at both ends.

Well I assumed I'd lose a few but not 10mpg. I'm used to diesels where I can tow 10k pounds and lose 1mpg. Haha.

Back in the day my old f150 ran way better on premium but I was an old truck. I know euro cars require it too. I was just curious cause of the volt.

I don't need it everyday but I know if I take it off I'll need it. Lol.

I have always used regular for my fusion. However I heard the volts use premium and was wondering if anyone got better mileage using premium?

Here is a picture

Hey all I recently got a Thule rack and box and my mpg has tanked. My 110 mile commute has me getting 39mpg and I charge both ways. It does go from sea level up 4k foot passes. I also noticed I'm having it revved a lot more than before 5-6k rpm. Anyone else notice this?

Got it all on. I really like the look and will be really nice to be able to carry stuff. Plus the box is huge but still enough room to fit a bike rack or lumber beside it. Curious to see what my mpg drops to

My gf and I share vehicles (I have the fusion energi and an 08 f350). The 350 has a blown motor and I'm a contractor so I need a truck at least once a week. She however was nice enough to buy a 250 diesel 7.3 that I get to use whenever I want and we just trade. I thought having the box would really help carrying stuff and wouldn't have to take the truck as often. I ended up not getting the force box as I read some bad reviews of it and I found the hyper XL on Craigslist. It was brand new as the guy won it and never used it and got it for $600. I was stoked as its $1000 normally. All goes on tomorrow. I'll take a picture and post it.
