Replying to: guxu (Feb 21, 2007 10:46 am) We get similar, but I am not overlly concerned. Most of the low numbers are due to long waits at stop lights, traffic, and drive throughs. I mitigate the econ numbers by taking less traveled routes, routes with larger spacing of traffic lights, and so on. It is also winter. My wife and I let it warm up before heading out. I have seen it fluctuate from 15-18. I expect this to get better as it warms up. My 2002 will usually do between 13-17 city during the winter. I feel that the 2007 is an improvement. BTW, I am rather easy on both.
