Short trips for me return 35-36mpg.

After the car is warm I'll see a 10% gain in town.

Highway trip from startup- 40+
Highway trip from warm- 44+

Addition- Rolling backroads without lights or stop signs return 45+ and I have seen 48 mpg on trips in these areas. My reasoning is lower speeds (than highway) and less or no stopping (vs in town).

LOVE THOSE BACK ROADS!!!!
