I would consider that the low and high mileage average since I check it every tank. For what it is I'm happy with the mileage. My only beef is the drive-by-wire throttle which is harder to modulate than a convetinal cable throttle; I feel this causes much of the poor mileage in the city.
Some have said that with FBW yu can really "lightfoot" this system and yu will see a difference with better MPG. I have tried it and yes FBW is really sensitive and a real steady foot keeping the trans. in one gear most of the time will get yu a noticeable MPG gain. Try it. it works.

But, personally, I just drive the dam thing. As I would any car.
