I have averaged 19.3 after 17k in mileage (2nd owner here) with an average speed of 40 MPH. The numbers drop drastically anytime your sitting still in traffic since that yields 0 MPG / MPH.
My driving habits are a daily commute in mixed conditions (pre-COVID), a few long highway trips at 28 MPG minus several 6 MPG track days.

I pay zero attention to my mpg, as I see it only when scrolling through the info screen. If I remember correctly, it is around 15-16 mpg. I bought the car as a fun 2nd car and stepping on the gas is fun.

You guys are funny!
I use to get 38 mpg in my Prius and I also had an EV and have no way to compute the mileage for that.
As for my C7 and other ICE cars, I don't give a SH*T what the mileage is as long as there's a gas station nearby when I need MORE GAS!!! LOL!

my sentiments exactly. I do not recall even checking what the mpg is on the car.

Checking the mileage is good way of understanding how well the vehicle is functioning. Fouled plugs, dirty air cleaner, under inflated tires... many things could cause poor fuel economy. Ignoring how your car is performing seems short sighted 
just because you monitor the mileage doesn't mean you drive like a wimp 
in fact I knew my track skills were getting better because my mileage dropped
