kseckel99 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Been having a game with myself and my 2013 MKZ. Seeing how many flowers I can grow in the display on the dash. Anyone else 'playing' with the vines, etc? cwilhite99@gmail.com and robertlane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveB_TX Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I occasionally put it on the vine/flower display. I don't like to keep it there as I hate seeing my flowers drop off the vines. :ohsnap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else 'playing' with the vines, etc? I tend to keep the vine/flower display up as a reminder to drive "like and old man". Wait a minute, I am an old man! I have 6 flowers so far. It seems like one has been appearing about every 1000 miles. I have a little over 6,000 miles right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Dad, that's an old mans car". I said your point? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenZ Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 How many miles did it take to get flowers? I seem to stuck on vines at this point. With my 2013 MKZ Hybrid, it seems like the flowers come one about once every 1,000 miles. Right now, I have a little over 6,000 miles and 6 flowers. robertlane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, once you 'earn' the flowers you get to keep them. Unless you reset the system, then you start all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner9925 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 We have just earned our 7th flower with just over 11,000 miles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kseckel99 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 We have just earned our 7th flower with just over 11,000 miles! Thanks, we have our 5th with 13k. About half those miles are freeway driving and we don't waste time going places, lol. Usually 75+ mph when we can. So not too fuel efficient, though both trips back home to Cincinnati (from FL) we average about 38-9 mpg. What is that 'sweet spot' (speed), that you find your best mileage? I'm thinking about 45-48? Any thoughts please. Thanks, love my Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I have 4 flowers, can't seem to get any more. What did you have to do to get 7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2D2 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 drive economically.... don't have a heavy foot on the gas or brake, take advantage of coasting. My overall (never reset) gas mileage at just over 16K is 38.0 mpg and I have 8 flowers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kseckel99 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Not sure how many flowers (maybe 7) we have, but are averaging 39 mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Satterwhite Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) I'm averaging 41 mpg and I don't have any flowers cant seem to get them, I did a reset and since then my flowers won't come back,I had 5. Same here. I'm at 28k miles, 44 mpg, and I don't have any flowers. Maybe the 2015 is different than the older models above??
