I just checked my average mileage from the last tank of gas on the 2011 with 5800 miles: 20.4 mpg in hilly, suburbia. My 2011 Impala LTZ gets 16 mpg while my past 2007 Impala SS V-8 averaged 12 mpg (but 24 - 25 mpg on the interstate).

16 mpg sounds like a reasonable average for the horror that is local NoVA traffic.

And its SO much worse today!

i think it is normal for short bumper to bumper commutes.
