Also, you will probably get slightly improved mileage as it breaks in, but I wouldn't expect it to be a magic cure-all or anything. The reality is, you're driving in the city. You won't get good gas mileage (and you still never answered my question about the length of your trips).

Sorry about hte length of the trips.. now that much 10k , 20km not that much . short trips.
