'Urban' used in conjunction with mpg typically refers to the fuel consumption of the vehicle driven in city or town conditions. This normally involves stop/start driving, braking and accelerating and little cruising at optimal fuel consumption speeds. Vehicles use more fuel in urban driving conditions than when cruising on the freeways. Manufacturers normally provide "urban" fuel economy figures and "combined" figures. The latter refer to a combination of town driving and highway cruising, arguably a more accurate reflection of the vehicle's fuel economy than its optimal (cruising) or worst (urban) consumption.

Extra Urban is a combination of town and country driving. For example you live in the the country but also drive in to town for you shopping, it combines both aspects of the journey.
