I call it city driving because I generally avoid the highways, but there's a fair amount of highway driving involved in my daily route (or at the very least 60 mph frontage road driving).

I drive like an animal and I know my work parking structure driving up to 4th floor with big old speed bumps doesn't help the cause.

Yeah, on the freeway it isn't bad, I get better economy than my Maxima, and on my drive from TX to CA I got... 27.4MPG? Maybe a touch past? 500 miles between some of my fill ups

I usally fill up when I hit 4 dots.
Just filled up yesterday on 4 dots/231 miles, and took 14.5 gallons (calculated 15.9mpg).
The trip computer said I only had 40 miles left on the tank (4.5gal), that would mean only 8.8mpg! Just shows how wacky the gas guage is!
