I don't know anything about this car, never even heard of it. Only 21 2013 C-max's on fuelly averaging 39 mpg of rated 47(hwy, city & combined). 83.6% of epa. I just picked 2012 Cruize for comparison, 276 of them averaging 33.2 mpg, combined rating of 27 to 30, using 29 gets 115% of EPA.

Just for giggles, compared to 2012 Prius, 352 on fuelly with 49 mpg average, combined rating of 50 so 98% of EPA. 2010 Insight 177 cars with 44.1 mpg, rating of 41 = 107%

So Ford is looking a little low, but also has a pretty small sample size.
