TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Ford C-MAX

Ford C-MAX Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	The Ford C-MAX's fuel economy is at once the #1 reason most people will buy a C-MAX, but also the model's greatest shortfall. The EPA ratings are an impressive 47 mpg city, 47 highway. In real suburban driving we (and many owners) observed trip computer averages of 33 to 40, with an overall average of 35.8. Go easy on the gas and initiate braking early enough to fully recoup kinetic energy, and low to mid 40s can happen. But 47 is a stretch. There are two ways to look at this. On the one hand, the C-MAX isn't coming close to its EPA ratings. Odds are Ford will have to make an adjustment and credit past buyers for the difference, Hyundai-Kia style. (Which actually might be a reason to buy one before this happens.) On the other hand, even 36 mpg is about 8-12 miles-per-gallon better than similarly functional non-hybrid vehicles, including the related Ford Escape. Efficiency is supported by excellent, highly configurable instrumentation. I personally opted to view a tach (rare in a hybrid), driving style ratings, and average mpg. A "brake coach" lets you know after each stop what percentage of kinetic energy was regenerated. In hybrids, this has a large impact on mpg than how hard you accelerate (more on this below). The C-MAX is also offered as an "Energi" Plug-in Hybrid rated to cruise 21 miles on electricity alone. see full Ford C-MAX review

2013	4dr Hatch 141-horsepower 2.0L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	With some care, it is not too hard to surpass the revised EPA estimates of 44 city / 39 highway. It particulary shines in city and suburban driving where you can crest 50 mpg on some short trips. In mixed driving, we match the EPA estimate of 40 MPG without paying much attention. While not as great as the Prius, this efficiency was certainly a step up for us and the difference in fuel costs over a year between the C-Max and Prius was not worth the shortcomings we found in the Prius (particularly poor handling and uncomfortable seats). see full Ford C-MAX review

2013	4dr Hatch 141-horsepower 2.0L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	On the down side for fuel economy, cold weather does a number on the MPG as is reported with other hybrid. On short trips (4 miles or less) on a cold start in cold weather with the heater going, expect low 20s for your MPG. This is mitigated over longer trips once the engine has warmed up, but we still get 1-3 MPG under our usual in cold weather for longer trips. see full Ford C-MAX review

2010	4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	It gets amazing fuel economy, I drive it daily to and from work, constant city driving mainly, I use about 20$ a week in regular gas. see full Toyota Yaris review
2010	4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I am an ultra light foot driver and can consistently get 42-46 mpg in the spring or fall when I can have the A/C off. During the summer I can get about 41-42 mpg and because of our below zero winters I get into the upper 30s for mpg. Overall year round my average mpg is 41.7. The key seems to be the aerodynamics of the 4 door sedan and the manual transmission. Not sure why this car is not rated at better mpg. Could be it is driver style sensitive in that a lead foot driver can get terrible gas mileage and a light foot driver can get easily into the 40s for mpg. I have driven this car 52000 miles to this date April 2013. I use this car to commute to work which includes rush hour traffic. I have also used this car to go cross country from the midwest to Florida. Total MPG so far 41.68. see full Toyota Yaris review

2008	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Given its size, should have a better rating. During my test drives (and several rentals), consistently performed worse than EPA estimates, even using a light foot. see full Toyota Yaris review
