I've got a 2001 V6 with 174k miles and my gas mileage is pretty abysmal too. With a mix of city and highway I get about 18. If I clear it while I am on the highway doing 75 it read 25-27. Since having it in the shop last week they cleared everything because they had to remove the battery. I have just been doing short trips around town and the SID says 13.5. Pretty terrible. Keep in mind the V6 has to work very hard when you start it cold to keep from stalling. It runs very rich which uses tons of gas. That's why you may notice it's very smokey in when you start it cold. Short trips will really kill MPGs.
