I have been getting a miserable 26/27 mpg here in San Diego. My commuted to work is about 25 miles on the 805 here in San Diego. I would get 27/28 in my 2010 xB. What gives!?!

It depends on how you drive it, not to mention it still needs to be broken in. I used to get about that commuting on the 163 and 8 when I first got mine, but then I started driving in a more laid back manner and my mileage went up to the 30s. If you stay below 75 and are not constantly changing lanes to pass people, it will give you better mileage.

I drive mostly stop and go traffic in nyc and see an average between 25-28mpg. When I hit the highway it goes up to 35mpg. My best was cruising 75-80mph to Rhode Island this summer at 38mpg.
