I had my 2013 C-MAX windows tinted shortly after buying it new. Had it done at Ziebart and they did a wonderful job. Still looks new today. Love it!

That's very enlightening. I had thought the the energy cycles of conventional vehicles and hybrid/electric cars were actually closer. Thanks for posting.

Greetings. I have ordered a 2013 C-Max Hybrid at the end of January. Replacing a 2007 Saturn VUE Hybrid. I'm really looking forward to driving the full hybrid with Ford's new awesome technology. Saturn's was a "soft" hybrid, which combined the ICE paired with a battery pack/generator full-time. I'm hoping I can nearly double my mileage from a 25 mpg lifetime average on the VUE. I'm especially looking forward to writing my "I got it!!!" post. B-) Bob

Wisconsin dealers in my area seem to always install an engine block heater. I'm thinking that if it is used to warm the engine block in the morning when it's cold out, would it allow the ICE shut off sooner to go into EV more quickly?

I bought a 2007 Saturn VUE Hybrid new in '06. It, too, came with a "mobility kit." I have never had to use it, though I have used the compressor for adjusting pressure, etc. Do folks know if the goop inside that seals the tire puncture ever goes bad in the can? Does the Ford Tire Mobility Kit have an expiration date?
