Well I would guess that I am doing close to 50/50 on city/highway driving. The 18 mile morning commute Monday through Friday is highway, at speeds around 70. Takes me 20-22 minutes on average. Coming home the same route takes me 40-45, so that should show how bad traffic is then. A lot of crawling along, accelerating briefly and then slowing again, etc.
But the rest of my driving (shopping, errands, etc) is city streets, with the badly synchronized traffic lights and so on. And my residential area is full of stop signs.
So if it's fair to say I drive about 50/50 city/highway, I'm getting just around the EPA estimate of 28mpg overall.
