Testing like that is not a true meaning. Short stints like that will produce numbers that look fantastic, but I think you need a test that involves longer trips. Kinda like if you drive a Volt less than 30 miles a day for a year and use no gas whatsoever, your average mileage will be unreal.

Try driving the car longer distances also your gas tank was less than half full so that will increase you mileage considering your car weighs less with only 25% gas in it. There's so many factors.

I average 21 - 22 mpg normal daily driving 50 mile round trip about 70/30 highway/city. This is in sport mode, with some agressive Manual mode driving.
I just completed a highway trip (I87 in upstate NY) about 150 miles each way. In Drive (D) crusing 70 to 73 mph. 28 mpg down, 29 mpg on the way back.

I can do similar numbers doing the same thing. All stock.
Want to add a CAI and see if I can get 38 like another member.

Ran a 20 mile section of I4 today and was getting 28.7 so I guess everything is fine with the car. I just doesnt like to go slow and stop at lights.
