There's definitely something wrong with your car. I'm assuming your car is fairly stock. Hell, my car, with mods in sig and 4.40:1 gears, gets ~18 mpg.

I get around 200 to a tank (around 13 gallons when I fill it), but this is with almost 100% city driving.

14-17 depending on how often I stick my foot into it is my guess. I didn't buy for good gas mileage.
