I will tell you that I do a lot of in town driving. It is 12 miles to my business and here in Houston that can take up to 30-45min to get to. One thing I noticed after an 8 hour trip was even in traffic AFTER the trip, my overhead never got below 14mpg until one day it started to drop more and more. This got me thinking that perhaps with all this in town driving I never completed a regenerating cycle. So now once a week I take it about 30miles round trip to complete one. The mileage never goes below 14 unless I start hammering it!
Hope this helps some-
