Where do you do most of your miles? My daily commute is something like 15-20 miles, these days mostly suburb roads where my speed limit is 25-40 so I can use EV mode a lot (my mpg, at least in summer, majorly jumped when I switched to this route from my previous mostly-highway route). I've got average of ~37 mpg over 19 months....

Yeah, I should have added in there that my commute (whether to the gym or to work) is about 6 miles or so and about 15-20 minutes. The route has way too many stop signs and you can never keep a constant speed because you have to stop every ten freaking feet.
I have tried to adjust my route but that hasn't helped much and I am not will to add time to the commute (I am spoiled).
That said, I am sure I suck at everything hybrid that keeps this car at the high mpgs. It probably all user error. But, eh, either way it is double my last vehicle.
