600 Miles In a Ford C-max, Is That Possible?

We came across this great post from a driver on Ford Social. Do you have a Ford story? Please share with us! Tell us why you love your Ford in the comments below, on our Facebook page, join us on Twitter... and be sure to come see us at Hilbish soon. There's always something exciting happening -- no obligation, just fun! 


YES! More than 600 miles!

I am a 1st time hybrid owner and I bought the Ford C-Max for the great drivers view/position, the utility of the 60/40 fold flat seats with the lift gate, the great technology in the My Ford Touch and navigation with the awesome, awesome Sony sound, and the perfect combination of POWER and MPGs in a single car: the C-Max SEL Hybrid.

I have owned my SEL since the first week of December 2012 and as of end of April, I have clocked 13,000 miles on it. Taking the time and distance to learn the fuel efficient driving takes time and it does not necessarily mean you have to go slow as I can still get 40 to 60 instant MPG driving > 65 mph (called ICE High MPG). However, driving FE will reward the owner with far more than the 47 MPG, but you also have the option of driving the car like a gas guzzler if you so wanted to...

As such, my work travel takes me across the northern Los Angeles and Ventura counties, I have been able to achieve SEVEN 600+ mile tanks in my daily work. I clock about 60 to 120 miles a day in this awesome car and that includes climbing steep canyon roads.

To me, Ford has more than delivered on the 47/47/47 in real world driving conditions – not some test bed like the EPA.

Thank you Ford and Ford Social for getting out my experience with this awesome car!!!
