New York City is the worst in North America. In worst cases, I got 23 MPG in a slower than walk trip. But even that mileage is better than regular cars' highway real mileage.
My actual numbers: City 37 to 39 MPG; Hwy 51 no matter what speed) according to the computer. I should add: Rural 64 MPG (<41 miles per hour)
My manual calculation when I pump up (tank full to tank full) is 5 MPG lower than the computer calculated MPG. This is the biggest thing!!!

Welcome to the CLUB!
If you haven't already, take a read of the Prius FAQ for some suggestions on how to get better mileage.
If you have access to a power plug in your garage, you could get a lot of help from using a block heater, especially this winter. This will accelerate your transition through the warm-up and get you into hybrid mode that much sooner.
GOOD LUCK!
