How can you possibly know what "bad MPG" is then??? As I mentioned above, the range you are giving is normal for what I'd expect on a car with some build up dong city driving.

You probably have normal MPG - but the only way to confirm that is to find some open freeway, fill up the gas tank, and then do a mileage run at 55 mph for 30-60 miles. (You must drive like a grandma. When these cars were designed, the national speed limit was 55 mph. If you go much faster than that, your mileage drops significantly.)
Problem is here in LA the freeways are no better than the city streets. There is bumper to bumper traffic as far as the eye can see
