I drive 74/25 (city hwy) and I get 19.0 MPG driving the car normal. When I wear my cement shoes i get down to 17's . I just got back from orlando and on the way up I average 26.5 mpgs... not bad.... for the way back i only got 22.1mpg.. I think I was in a hurry .. the key is to keep the car in D while in the hwy and in DS while in the city

I think he means 74% city, 25% hwy = 99%, leaves another 1% for other roads...
