Sounds like you're driving in NYC or any other big city. Frequent stop and go along with low speeds = terrible gas mileage.

I'm in Houston, I drive like 4 miles from home to work and another 4 miles back every day...speed limit 30-35 mph...5 stops for 1 way...

manufacture list 18mpg, if im getting like 15-16, i wont complain...but 11...makes me want to know if something is wrong...

Is the car even getting up to temp? When it's cold the ECU adds fuel.

there you go. that's too short and speed too low.

take it out on a stretch on a weekend. you're going to prematurely kill the battery too unless you put a tender on it.
like my first post, drive 10-15miles at hwy speeds and see where you mpg goes. GL!

I get 12 MPG or better with a very heavy foot. The only time it is worse is at the track.
