And I thought I was the only one with this problem. With the Tacoma I get 24-25 mpg on a 5 mile, cold-start, city drive. The wife gets 16 mpg. (EPA city is 14; combined is 16; highway is 18.) Basically the same route with seven traffic lights. We can't time the lights because most are on trip, but two are not. This forces at least one stop (ignition off) on the trip.
