MPGs vary wildly on these cars. I am in the 27ish average range but mostly interstate cruising at 75-80. Metro NYC driving I honestly wouldn't expect anything better than what you have. City driving is atrocious.

I agree too. I mix 60% highway 40% city driving on the daily and i average 22mpg -- aligns pretty well between y'alls huh?

It's fine. Save the hypermiling for Priuses.

Fun fact: My car consistently overestimates the MPG by 10%. Must be a VAG thing.

Living in a hilly city, my MPG is probably worse. I just remind myself that fuel is one of my lowest expenses anyhow.
