What kind of MPG are you all getting in stop and go city driving? I'll be buying an xA in January and was hoping I could get around 34 or 35 for a paper route I do every day.

generally between 29 and 30, but that's with some pretty agressive driving now and then

I just did my first fill up on my '06 xA... I got 32mpg on the first tank. It was with 90% city driving.

I honestly have no idea. most all my driving is mixed because it seems like you can't get anywhere in SoCal without hoping on a freeway for a 20minutes- 2 hours.... But it takes you 20 minutes to make it through the city to get to the interstate.

You probably won't get 34 doing a paper route. That requires a lot of stops and slow driving through neighborhoods (I had a paper route when I was a kid... I used a scooter and got about 75mpg!).

I can drive like a punk and still get 32+ MPG in 100% urban driving.

Right now, I get 24 mpg in a 1990 Nissan Maxima (V6). I should be able to get over 30 in the xA. At least that's my hope.

Just under 32 in an "06" with roof racks and AC on most of the time... :)
