I'm now seeing 13.5L/100km (17.5mpg) for 100% city driving in my X. I'm a bit surprised that I haven't seen any increase in fuel economy after switching back to the A/S tires, spring mix fuel and generally warmer weather, but what can I expect when I am stuck in gridlock for about 5-7 hours a week.

Just took a weekend at my parents, 95 miles of highway drive and I averaged 22.5 MPG with only 400 miles on the odometer. Used Cruise Control (love ICC, will never buy a car without it again) the whole way, except for tolls, and set it at 75 MPH in NJ and 65 MPH in New York (half trip in each).
Drove around during weekend locally (about 50 miles or so), and 95 miles of highway home with traffic on the way, and overall trip average was 21.2 MPG.

OK, I'm new to the '07 Sedan world, having only 600 miles so far, but I have an observation that seems to be reflected in most of the posts set forth above. This car has the largest disparity between highway and city mileage as any car I've ever owned. I've gotten as high as 26 mpg on the highway and as little as 16 driving around town. That will probably drop a bit when I get beyond the break-in period and I floor it every time.

I've gotten about 20mpg average and my 07 G sedan has only about 4K miles. On the highways, I've been shifting to neutral when I go over 70mph and just let the car slide thru usually about 1/4 mile and then to drive. I thought this will increase the MPG a little bit . Not sure if this technique has adverse effect tho on the car. I hope it doesnt.
