I do maybe half city and half highway driving with AC on of course. Sometimes, I'll sit in the car during the week for lunch. My fuel economy has been around 16-17 mpg. Is that normal?

I wonder if mine should be a little higher.
I also wonder if I should replace my cats. Car has 151K miles.

Fill up car
Reset trip meter
Drive car until you need to fill up tank again
Fill up car
Record how many gallons it took to fill up the car
Record how many miles are on your trip meter
Divide the miles by the gallons
