Took my EX on its first trip. The display has 3 milage displays. 1) is gas mileage from day one, 2) is gas milage from last fill up and 3) is gas milage on this trip. I started the trip at 60 miles and returned at 350. My day one milage is 21.6, my last fill up is 27.4 and my trip is 29.5. The trip was 140 of interstate 75-80 mph and 140 miles of 2 lane 60-65. Maybe 10 miles of 2 small towns stop and go. All in “normal” mode and a/c was off for about 1/2 of the trip. I am impressed. My 2019 Sienna never got better than 26-27 mpg. Two things I noticed that I have not seen in a long time. The new engine got better as the miles increase. Just the ease if reving and performance. It broke in. Second the ride was much smoother as the miles picked up. It was like the suspension needed breaking in. These are things I use to notice in cars a bought years ago.

That is exactly what I am experiencing with my EX
Probably under 20 if you're driving around town. Too much time sitting at intersections and accelerating between them - kills your MPG.

I also primarily use the car for getting kids to school and work and average 12-14 mpg. Granted, it's been a hot one in KC and we have the AC on most of the time, but does that seem a little too low? For the record, I'm using 89 or 91 octane gas. I'm wondering if I need to take it to the dealership.

It's on the lower side but if you have more stop than go traffic, perfectly reasonable. Those car lines for dropping the kiddos off can be brutal on MPG.
Also, short drives, starting the car many times a day lowers your MPG. I have been getting low 20s in the summer with one drive a day in town. Now with 3 kids in different after school activities which translate to many short city drives MPG is 16-18. I also drive faster and accelerate more because now I have more places to be at in a given time...
