Unless you are lead-footed and are accelerating hard from each stop, there is absolutely no reason you should only be getting 22mph on a 1.8. I'm not so lead-footed but I'm no granny either, and I'm averaging 28mpg this winter with about 75% of my driving in stop-and-go traffic. Tires are 215-40R17s with 226k on the body and about 100k on the engine. Intake and everything are stock, running on 87 octane (regular unleaded) with I think it's 10% ethanol (mileage-reducing  ) for the winter (required in our state).--------------------  |
