Obviously if we had not been moving at all the mileage would have gone down. But we were moving very slowly with the engine rarely above 1,200 RPM. FWIW Based on the mileage not going down during the stop & go segment I believe the 35d gets pretty good mileage when it is running between 500-1,200 RPM. IOW before the small turbo "kicks in". Of course the 26.2 mpg had a history of over 60 miles and the stop and go segment was only about 10 miles. So the overall mpg average is strongly weighted to the better 30 mpg during the 50 miles into town.
