I get ~16mpg in the coldest months, ~20mpg in the summer. It's 3-4mpg difference between seasons for me. It's mostly city driving, barely getting to 3rd gear.
I get far better mileage when I'm in Toronto. Traffic pattern is different , obviously -- roads are mostly straight, sometime for miles, with traffic lights spaced out far apart; most roads are at least two-lanes wide, hence fewer stop-go traffic; no pot-holes to speak of, since there is practically no thaw-freeze cycle during the winter.
I've noticed a (dangerous) tendency to coast in neutral among some Torontonians!
