I have had my C-Max for 3 days now and am averaging 39.6 MPG so far, with about 300 miles on the odometer. I would estimate that my driving conditions have be approx. 40% highway and 60% city driving so far. I am confident that I will be averaging over 40 MPG after the break in period, and that is all that I really expected anyway. I am especially pleased with the power and handling of my C-Max. I did a lot of research and a few test drives (VW Golf & Hyundai Elantra) before deciding on the C-Max. Even though great gas mileage was high on my priority list, I knew that I would not be happy in the long run with a car that could not get out of it's own way when fast acceleration and climbing steep inclines was necessary. With the new C-Max I feel that I have the best of all worlds... great gas mileage, plenty of power, great handling and lots of room inside for my 6'-1" frame.
