I just wanted to say to everyone. I just purchased a new hybrid and coming from a dodge magnum 5.7 liter Hemi I am adjusting slowly but loving it. I am going to try to be active with this forum and shoot out some questions if ok.

First one that I am amazed no one has asked is does your battery ever read full? Granted I only have 200 miles I can't get it over 3/4 and I'm averaging 90 plus in my braking score.

More questions to come. Cheers...

Are you missing the big V8?
I know I would!
I'd miss it enough to see one of my only options of upgrading to being the 300C SRT

hey man welcome aboard! congrats on the new vehicle? What are your fuel savings like now?

 

[Truthiness]

Black Tuxedo? Does that mean that you bought some of the Lincoln Black Label options for your MKZ? Pics of that would be awesome. I'm wondering if that program is worth it.

not sure about the battery thing. maybe ask your dealer?

Car has been fun so far. Gas savings seem to be in the mid 30's. Seems the average is slowly climbing. The battery symbol is for the hybrid not the car battery.
Cheers

I'd just call the dealer. I don't have the hybrid or know anyone who does. If it has the range from empty to full there must be a way to have it fully charged.

how many miles/km's are you at right now?
I think after a few thousand miles you'll begin to see the MPG numbers stabilize

 

[golfball]

he mentioned his average is slowly climbing

so that would suggest as it breaks in mileage is getting better.

 

[MKZFan]

yeah for sure, just a matter of time and racking up more mileage

Regarding the battery: if you are referring to the vertical bar that fills with blue, mine fills completely when coming down from the top of a mountain pass between Las Vegas and Pahrump. Whether that means the battery is completely charged, I don't know, but I'm guessing it does.
