Anyway, Took a trip to NY a couple days ago (just got back) and my first tank netted my 20 mpg, the second tank went up to 22 mpg then the third came back down to 21 mpg. I was pretty shocked.
Apparently, I must do a lot of stop and go when i drive locally to give me the 16 or 17 that I am use to seeing.

I KNOW this town (Raleigh) is hell on gas mileage.
I only get about 12.5 mpg average, that is doing
99% city stop & go driving.
I bet if I lived in Kansas or some other flat state with few stop lights I would get at least 16-17mpg city.
From where I am I can not go in any direction more than 1 mile tops before going UP hill and usually have to stop at a stop light or sign twice just to go that 1 mile.
I think the stop lights are set bad around here also, I can look up a street and see 2-4 stop lights ahead and can pretty much rest assured I will have to stop at most of them.
I would be doing back flips if I got 16-17mpg around here.
