city mpg? please post yours

I own a 98 s70T5 auto that gets me around 11.5 mpg city. trip computer says 10, but fill-up to fill-up calculations say its closer to 11-12. No codes, I don't drive hard, and i keep up my car quite well. These numbers seem pretty low, is it just my car, or all T-5's? If you own a T-5 please post you...
