What part of the country do you live in? When you say in-town do you mean a small town or the downtown of a city?

What kind of driving do you do? Short trips? Stop and go? Heavy traffic? Typical speed? Do you get out on the highways at all?

There are other things you can do to help. Up your air pressure to 40psi. You will sacrifice a little ride quality but get better FE. Don't let the car warm up or idle. Just start her up and go. Shift to N at redlights to lock out the engine and keep it in EV mode to avoid idling.
