City mileage from the EPA is optimistic,whereas, I can always get better mileage on the highway than the EPA.
There are many factors which affect city mileage. One very important factor is the miles driven. When I take short trips in the city, the mileage is dramatically lower than if I drive for 20 or more minutes.
If everything is warm such as when I drive on the highway and then on the city, I sometimes even get EPA city mileage. A warmed system is better than one that just started up.
