Note the start/stop does make a 1+ mpg difference in the city as does eco-pro. I can live with the start/stop but not eco-pro. I keep it on comfort for commuting and kick the shift left to sport when I need merging power, etc. When ever I can, 50-80 is fun.

I got the car pre-owned with 35K miles, so not new. And I haven't really pushed it. In fact, I've driven almost grandma-style. I don't understand how I got 13.9 mpg in 1 week. 2011, so no Eco-Pro or Start/Stop.
