I stated my drive to work (roundtrip) was 28 miles, not 28 mpg!

Now it's constant braking, 2.2 million traffic?

If in fact that the mpg does not improve, then we get to the issue of what you expect from the mpg quote of the manufacture. If the number in real life is different than claimed, then its called faults ad. Just like what RX-8 did with the hp rating. They gave money back to buyers. The fact sheet is what it is. The fact. Now I know that mileage may vary, but like I said before, the number as of right now is below average (not that good) based on the claimed number. Since your added stop-n-go freeway mileage, then i guess it changes my end a little on the mpg.
