Default Is this normal? (city mpg)

So at school here I really dont drive my car a whole lot. And when I do its usually pretty short trips that is all city driving with long stop lights. Iam sitting at the half way mark on the tank and I only have like 170 miles. That is really bad, the worst my car has ever gotten. I mean on the highway I get like 250 for the first half the tank! Is this normal with the low miles. Thanks.

i drive all city miles and get similar mileage.

usually works out to mid/low 20's.

and if i take a trip or two on the highway it'll jump up.

naw that sounds about right. i'm lucky if i can get 390 out of a full tank of gas. it also depends on how much you beat/don't beat on it.

if you are spending a lot of time idle then that is about right. In my 94 (when I had it) I would get 24/25 city and 34 highway

In my current car I get 21/22 city and 32 highway
