check tire pressures
City driving to too unpredicatable. The only good way to track such things is to do a SID reset when at steady speed on a level hughway when the engine and trany are fully warmed up. Strong head or side winds will have a big impact. Try that. I was getting 30+ under those conditions with my 03 Aero from the start. No, the SID reset method on the highway is not representive of your overall MPGs but it is the only thing that we can compare. If the SID reset highway MPGs are good, then everything is fine and what you get in the city is what you get in the city.
