Ford Motor Co., hit by lawsuits for coming up short on its fuel economy promises, lowered the mileage rating for its C-Max Hybrid model. The automaker will also make one-time payments to customers because of the change.
The rating for the 2013 model was revised to 43 miles (69 kilometers) per gallon for combined city and highway driving, Raj Nair, Ford’s global product development chief, said at a press conference in Dearborn, Michigan. Ford had advertised 47 mpg for the C-Max Hybrid.
