Of course city driving has different definitions, depending on where you live, but in my city driving (real city, stop and go, 35 mph max for about 15/20 seconds and a trip of less than 20 minutes, depending on traffic) I get about 13 mph and 26 on steady interstate driving over several hours (greater than 5 hours). The 92 960 I owned wasn't much different. If I though for a minute that changing my driving style would yield me 21 mph in the city, you'd witness a transformed man.

Quite honestly, I doubt the claim of 21 mph in the city and I would be eternally grateful for 16 pmg in real city driving...! This is not a car that sips gas (ala Morris Minor) by any stretch of the imagination.
