highway, I tend to use cruise and keep the speed between 70-75 mph. Around the city, depending on how I drive I will do between 16 mpg (spirited driving) to 20 mpg (driving like grandma). In my DD 2014 Honda Odyssey, I tend to average 21 mpg in pure city driving, which people find hard to believe. It has a lot to do with driving style. In the city, I watch the traffic and lights. I'll ease off the throttle if traffic is slowing down or the light has changed versus maintaining speed all the way to the light only to brake and stop. My brakes tend to last longer too. Out on the highway, I have got 28-30 mpg in the DD. My wife does not drive like I do and tends to do 2-3 mpg worse around town in the same vehicle.
