Back to the topic at hand please. I reset my computer last night after making sure the vacuum hose was tight. I probably did 75-80% city style driving and 20-25% highway and I am getting around 17. I am even babying the takeoffs just to try and get better MPGs. I know the engine is not broken in yet, but seems awful low to me.

Take her out on the highway, cruising at around 65 or 70. Reset the AVG MPG, and watch it bounce around on the average MPGs for awhile. After several miles it should start to settle down as it gathers more data and mileage to average, but even with your car not yet broken in, I'd expect it to be bouncing somewhere around mid 20s or higher on the highway at those speeds.
If it does that, then I'd say its just fine. I get on it in my car plenty, and im averaging 22 MPG, but I have gotten it to just over 28 before on a cruise.
