MPG in city
I do mostly city driving near Chicago. Traffic is horrible. Stop and go pretty much all day long. Even after I stopped driving like a nut I get about 19-21 MPG in the city. Is this acceptable or should I expect higher MPGs even during heavy city traffic?

That sounds about right, I am doing 50/50 and I am averaging 22-24 mpg. The number is at least better than my Jeep Grand Cherokee which only does around 17-19 mpg. 
Cheers !!!

Just got mine about 2 weeks ago and filled it up for the first time tonight. Check out how pathetic mine was: 230 miles, 13.57 gallons...<b>16.95 MPG!!!</b>
I'm assuming mileage will improve as the engine gets broken in. All I can say is it better...

Yes, after your first oil change it will get better.
