I'm getting 24 avg with almost exclusively city driving.
I'm not sure if this is true, but could gas mileage actually suffer by shifting too early? 2.5-3k seems awfully low to me, given how high these engines are designed to run. I just mean that there might be times especially in the later gears where it might seem like the engine is lagging when shifting at those lower RPMs.
You could try listening to the sound of the revs/motor itself instead of going by the gauge, and just shifting in each gear based on feel/sound. Might have an impact if you're able to just go with the natural shift points of the engine instead of keeping shifts exclusively at 2.5-3k rpm.
