Lets see:

- Low mileage (car should return better mileage and power after more miles)
- In town driving. If your doing lots of stop light to stop light stuff that is gong to KILL your MPGs. As someone else has said..what is your average speed?
- Hot weather. This will also hurt the average and if your AC is on that only puts more of a load on the engine.

Plan a 20 to 30 mile trip sometime from your home to a good highway run and then back home. Before you leave, reset your MPGs. Go out and drive normally and return home to see what your average is. If a good deal of that driving is on the highway you should see 22 - 24 MPGs...unless your drive to a highway involves lots of stop and go driving just to get there lol.

Also, on another trip sometime, you could try resetting the MPGs while your out on the highway and see what kind of MPGs your getting on the highway. If you go 65 to 70 MPH you should see ratings well into the upper 20s or better.
