How do you define "normal city driving". What is your top speed? How long to
you cruise at speeds over 35mph? If you're never getting above 35 and stop and
go with every light, then 29mpg would be phenominally good gas mileage.

Have had the Civic Hybrid for 19 months. Normal city driving was
showing 32 mpg. Dealer inspected, could find nothing wrong, and
apparently seemed to think I ought to be satisfied, even tho they
advertise 48 mpg in town.

Received a recall on the car, and after talking to the dealer, it
apparently was a software fix for the computer - ahh I thought, maybe
that will help the pathetic gas mileage. Well, it's been a couple of
weeks now since the update and I am presently seeing 29 mpg.
