The city driving will hurt your MPG. Do you ever reset MPG in the car when you fill up or do a manual calculation?

On my 2SS 6MT I've averaged 14.5 over the course of 1700 miles. Mostly city driving with a dose of fun mixed in where possible. Of late mileage is improving - may be me or may be the engine break in - not sure yet.

I'm doing a little better at usually hitting 14-15 MPG, but my right foot is MUCH heavier when I'm driving the Camaro.

I filled up about a week back and immediately drove down the interstate to the other side of town w/ cruise control set at 60mph. I reset the mpg reader before the 10 mile journey and I averaged 28.5mpg on the Highway in my 2SS!
