What kind of driving are you doing?

100% city with AC running and pretty heavy on the throttle...that's not too far from average.

Do you have a CEL? If your travel trips are shorter than 5 miles, that may be normal. If you drive more than 5 miles then you should get at least 18 mpg.

That's what I was afraid of, under 5 miles to work, I was getting about 18 when I lived further from work. Thanks guys.
