Highway mpg

I recently purchased a 2019 Avalon Hybrid Limited with 22K miles. Prior to this vehicle, I drove a 2013 and then a 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid. My question is, I always heard that Hybrid vehicles perform better in city traffic than on the highway. This was always the case with my Fusion. However, I find that with my Avalon, if I drive on the highway for most of the trip, I can achieve over 50mpg for that trip. But the minute I get off the highway and start driving on local streets with traffic lights, my fuel economy can drop down to 27-28mpg. I end up with an overall tank at about 42 mpg. Anybody else experiencing this as well?

Most cars will perform better on highway as running at a constant speed.

Around town the figure will most definitely drop but enhance slightly by the hybrid assist if enough regeneration occurs on stopping and on overrun

Those figures don't seem too unreasonable at all
