That is great to see! Maybe that is the risk / reward proposition when you are considered a class leader. Dodge Dart is at 41 mpg, so if journalist gets close, he is happy. Looks like c-max has a higher bar set, but perhaps a less forgiving one, when the driver chooses to flex his right foot, hence same 41 mpg on a c-max being considered low. In a few years, hopefully mid 40s and 50 will be more the norm even for lead foots.
