City MPG
Living in NYC i'm only getting 15-16 MPG i'm just curious how are others doing MPG wise in the city? Are there any secrets to getting more MPG? I always roll to the red light, and rarely floor the peddle, what else can I do to increase the MPG? This is on the 2018 NX 300 AWD

Nothing. And hybrid won't fix it, they are not really better in city stop and go traffic. That's from ex 2 hybrids owner. Buy electric, that's about it. Stop'n'go traffic in city, with idling at red lights, is mpg killer.

I would assume hybrid would be better since you can idle with engine off and ease off acceleration during traffic?

Wow! So your opinion is the only one that is right and our emperical observations are simply wrong. We are on our 4th hybrid over the past 12 years and we have seen different results than you claim. We routinely get 15 - 20% better mileage in city driving than highway driving. Again, this is just observation and has been consistent across 4 different hybrids. That of course varies with driving style.
I am not necessarily suggesting a hybrid is for everyone. The economic proposition is nearly impossible to justify at today’s fuel prices. I just cannot agree with your conclusions based on our experiences.
