MY point was to see what other people were getting. See if it was just me who was having the problem. It was a frustrating thing for me to begin with getting such poor mileage. Well poor compared to what I was expecting anyway. I have since given up letting it bother me. I have used grill covers & seen a small rise. Not a large amount but like 33-35 so maybe 2mpg in cold weather. With spring coming on I have seen better MPG. I'm closer to the 37 range now. I can see once it is really warm breaking 40. I don't consider a 55mpg trip to the local store much of a tell. That could be a 3 mile trip to the store & doesn't tell me squat. I get brief averages that are great too. What I go by is my average between fillups. Then the complete average for the life of my car. It is slowly climbing & other than my dang clock being off a couple times a week. Everything else is working great

We've been hovering around freezing. Nothing to drastic really. It definitely affects the mileage. It's been colder in the 20's & my mileage dropped closer to 30. Lifetime I'm sitting at 33.2 which is frustrating. After being pissed off about my mileage for the first month & 4000 miles. I finally let it go & am just enjoying my Cmax. It is a great driving car & getting 30+ doing 70-80 is pretty okay. Not even close to what I was expecting. I am content to see how it does once it warms up. I'm past the point where I'm going to spend much time upset if it doesn't improve to 40+ then

Below freezing temps the last week or so. Dropped my mpg close to 30. I also had my clock way of this morning after not using it all weekend? Got in this morning & started it. My clock was ahead by a good 3 & a half hours. I had this happen once before too???

I looked for the thread & can't find it. Where is it? I would have no problem getting those grill covers if they will help

I do see a swing up when the weather is warmer. At 50 degrees I can get 38-40. So there is definitely a big difference for me. Originally I just wanted to take it back to ford. While I d like the Cmax & the way it drives. The 47mpg was why I bought it over a Prius. So it just pissed me off every time I drove it only seeing the 33mpg. I've decided to just let it go & enjoy driving my Cmax The low MPG really was my only complaint with it. I am optimistic that it will get closer to 40 when the weather improves too. I will keep my eye's open here too for updates from other owners. Thanks for all the input :)

I have done both fwy driving at around 70. To check my mileage I have gone on a hwy too at 60. I have milked it a every chance to try to get it to do better. Even milking it in every way possible the best I have gotten out of a tank was 35.8. I did a 45 minute run at 55 on eco cruise & reset my mpg average. I got 37 but it didn't take long for that to drop back down. During my 45 minute drive home on eco cruise I am staying right at 60. I am lucky to get it into EV mode once during my trip. It doesn't stay for more than a few seconds. I do see EV mode more in town but not enough to get my mpg's up

SO I have had my Cmax for about a month. I've got 4300 miles on it & my MPG isn't great. I'm averaging 33-35mpg & am really disgusted. I bought it with the 47 mpg estimate expecting it to get at least low 40's. Most of my driving is hwy with only maybe 20% in town. IT has been really cold the last 2 weeks. I think warmer weather will help it some. Still I just can't see it ever getting close to that 47mpg. What mileage are you getting?

I bought an SEL Cmax about a month ago. I am only averaging 33mpg. I'm very disappointed with the MPG being so low. The dealership just said the mileage will get better with time. I'm now up to 4300 mles & am still in the 33-35 mpg average. I can get it only doing that on the freeway a 70. I don't get it around town & trips doing 55-60? Frustrated with mine
