I have a short comute to work and back. about 4km (2.5 miles) one way. average speed is about 40km/h (25mph) and have 8 lights/stop signs. Because of this i get 12l/100 km (20mpg) with my 99 Civic by just driving casual.

I was really hoping to get about 10l/100 km and i know i would probably get that if i didn't have so many lights and stop signs. Is anyone else getting horrible numbers on a short comute with lots of stops or no?

Thanks
