Absolutely right! I seem to remember it used to be that way, but something changed and lately it's been all highway mpg. Considering how city mileage accounts for approximately half of average driving, it's deceptive to not include it.

Still, it's not been entirely bad. Advertising highway mpg has pushed some makers to put a really tall top gear that we can exploit in our pursuits for MORE. Sadly others haven't jumped on that idea yet (HONDA )
