City driving gas mileage

There are many things that can contribute to low MPG. To give us more clues about where to guide you, try to answer as much of this questionnaire as practical:
Fuel economy complaints/queries? Please copy, paste & answer these questions, esp. if you're new | PriusChat
And post your answers back to this thread.

Probably the most significant thing missing from that list is brake drag.

 

In Chicago, probably yes, normal.......where it is hard to go more than 3 blocks without coming to a complete stop; often less than that.
Two enemies of good gas mileage: HIGH speeds and very frequent stops.

How long have you had the car ??

 

very low, how long have you owned her?
when did the mileage drop, or has it always been that low?
what happens when you open her up out in the burbs?

 

Short drives, cold weather= lousy gas mileage but it would be even worse in a non hybrid car.
