Printguy Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I have been driving a 2010 Chevy Silverado for 3 years and getting an average 16.7 mpg. We have had several Fords and decided it was time to change and we were looking to buy a Ford Escape when we saw the C-Max. Being of strong mind and body (I thought) my wife took over and 2 hours later were driving home in a silver C-Max. I must say that this will be a change driving a car that would have fit into the bed of my truck but I am sure looking forward to saving some $ on gas. My gas expense with the truck was $80 fill up twice a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelnLa Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 My Tahoe was easily 75.00, lasting about 9 days if I was good. Now I can go 2 weeks on my less than 40.00 fillup. I also go lots more than I did before! Congrats on the purchase and glad you found the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adair Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 PrintGuy!! Hi, and welcome to the forum! I was a Jeep Liberty owner and was filling up every 5 days or so at $45-$60 a fill up, depending on the price of gasoline. I got 17-21 MPG. Now I fill up once a week (not because I have too, it's just a thing with me not to go much below 1/2 tank.) It costs me around $25-$32 a fill up, and I'm getting 42 mpg (current and previous tank). The Fuelly numbers below will be lower because I live in the north and cold weather impacts mpg's. Again, Welcome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnOhio Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I know what you mean about the gas prices. I was putting 52 bucks every 5 days in my Pontiac. Now 40 bucks every 2 weeks in my silver C Max . Congrats !!!!!! RachelnLa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-MAXER Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 I have been driving a 2010 Chevy Silverado for 3 years and getting an average 16.7 mpg. My gas expense with the truck was $80 fill up twice a week. WOW, that's just......... :drop: No big gas savings for me coming from previous hybrids but I'm getting more room, power, and features. :happy feet: Enjoy your new ride. It won't take long for you to "get it". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roninsd Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Depending on my daily commute, which varies, I'm able to go two to three weeks on a tank -- that's about $100 a month, instead of $200+. Not a bad "upgrade". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
