You've barely been through one tank of gas. I'd give it a little more time before taking those gas mileage calculations seriously. Also, you can expect mileage to improve as the engine breaks in. Finally, I think you can expect to take a bit of a mileage hit driving in town with lots of hills compared with flat land.

Well I am on my second tank of gas now. The first tank of gas the dealer fill for me only got about 17 MPG though. I will probably try one more tank of gas and see how it goes.

the bottom line, some of these cars do not get the milage reported that others do, and no one has the trouble shooting skills or the ambition to find out why

Up and down those hills of SF? Occasional real City gridlock? 22/27? Not a chance - even if you had electric motors helping you out. Am seeing a solid 24+ out of my SL AWD but at 70% 80mph highway- no hills and little 'gridlock'.

600+ miles of HWY.. by silverrogue

Just did a round trip with they family, 95% highway driving.
current mileage: 1810
A/C on
cruise control used about 60% of the trip
speeds ranged from 60 to 75 mph with cruise on 70
raod conditions: flat and dry; as we were going up through Ohio to Cedar Point.
going up we averaged right at 30 mpg
coming back it averaged 27 (tons of headwind most of the way home)
 
Prior to this trip I filled up and my mpg averaged 23.6 for a 60/40 city/hwy mix
 
So far I'm very happy with the vehicle.

First tank: 34, 2nd tank: 33. 70/30 hwy/city. Some slightly spirited use of CVT during 2nd tank on rural hwy. 65-70 mph on hwy. Original Conti 4x4 Contact tires. Replaced with Avids during third tank, so will likely improve. Altitude: between 5600 and 5900 MSL. Driver only. Lots of A/C on first tank, some on 2nd. Regular fuel.

3rd tank (1st on Avids) = 35+.
 
Same roads, same WX, same pump, less A/C, but 300+ pounds for part of the distance. No hypermiling tricks.

It's the altitude. Every car I've ever owned got great MPG at higher altitudes, including a CR-V and a Ford Freestyle.

i just a got a 2008 SL AWD, I have put 1100 miles on it and I have got 17mpg on every tank. I do drive 99% city(stop and go) I also drive really fast. I am sure if I would slow down it would be in the 20mpg.

not exactly 'real world' is it? very few of us, drive entirely in City gridlock and further don't drive like the car is being performance tested by a car magazine. Under the conditions you outline, I would think that 17 mpg is actually good! For my part, between 24 and 25 mpg, driving about 50-50 and also driving quite 'normally'.
