14 mpg avg

Just wondering if that is normal while city driving?

Yeah I had about 14 back when I did a lot of city. Even with a lot of highway driving now I only get 18.2. Is your car still new?

Do you leave your car in "D" while you drive?

I get around 21-22mpg. I'd say about 70% hwy and 30% city.

14.8 and mostly local driving. I have a lead foot, so that may be the reason?

Probably!

When the wife uses my G for local driving the MPG has dropped to 17 to 18

On the road I get pretty good MPG

A 50 mile drive to work after a fillup at 65 MPH not using cruise control which will lower MPG. Mine is a sedan. Does that account for so much of a difference?

I also get between 18-19mpg doing about 70% freeway. But I knew this car didn't have great fuel mileage when I bought it, so I can't complain. I think it's worth it.

Combined around 22 mpg 70/30 city. Just took a 800+ mile trip with the cruise set at 78MPH and got 27 mpg. I'll be installing FI RHFC's soon and wonder if the mileage will be slightly better because there will be less restriction. Has anyone seen an increase in fuel economy with the RHFC's?

The wife commutes 10 miles on city two lanes to and from work and she's averaging 19 on the display and she usually has a lead foot from stop light to stop light.
