Any secrets on getting 22mpg mostly city?

LOL, I get about 12-13mpg average per tank when I drive mostly city lol.

The car is great on highway driving though, I almost cracked 30mpg average on a 50 mile trip, mostly highway.

Great video! ^^^ I agree. Around the city here in Atlanta I get maybe 17 mpg. Highway I'm somewhere around 22. What's your secret? Especially if you're always in sport mode.
Thanks

I like the video, I am not a fan of the corney humor at all but reading replies others seem to like it.

Thank you everyone! I appreciate y'all checking it out and I'm glad you enjoyed it too! I realize my videos delve into goofballery at times, but that's just part of my personality. I mainly add that stuff when I get bored with editing and to make my kids laugh.

Regarding the gas mileage, I didn't realize that I was doing that well. I guess these days I have the kids in the car most of the time and drive pretty easy. Also, my "city" driving doesn't even begin to compare with what you guys face in cities like Atlanta. I'm rarely stopped for very long which makes a giant difference I'm sure. The worst I've seen was 17mpg during an extendo-run through some mountain roads. That was fun!

Thanks again folks!

Regarding city gas mileage, I can now confirm that it is very possible to get the OP's fuel economy.

Today was the first day we had "real" rain in Southern California since I purchase my IS-F.

Well it forced me to drive more cautiously, I left it in Grandma D non-sport mode and just drove like a sane person for once. After filling up and making my 30 mile commute to work in mixed highway and city driving with stop and go traffic today due to the rain, my tank average was 21.4 mpg.

Very nice!

Thank you for offering up your experience, I was beginning to wonder if my IS-F was calculating this wrong or something, since I've never calculated the MPG manually, just trusted the computer over the years. I would call my driving very Grandma-like these days, but I still stretch it out whenever possible.
