I second what B Millar suggested: Check your SID readings for each trip, and report back. 20MPG in traffic is not bad. So, before you try and track down hardware problems, check if it's actually misbehaving. When you do this, try and also record average speed, temperature, trip distance, and elevation change, if any. Count how many people you pass as you drive. More than pass you?
In a SUV (Merc Mountaineer) you'd be getting low teens. Big difference, from experience. And I usually drive like these guys: http://www.cleanmpg.com/forums/index.php
If you're stuff with a crappy commute, I would suggest checking out that CleanMPG forum. Once you get beyond the jargon and sometimes-questionable antics, you can find a happy medium between economy, time, and enjoyment. I have.
I've posted averages of my tanks, (28MPG average) but that's mostly highway, avoiding traffic when possible, driving gently most of the time (I do have fun).
Let us know; we want to help.
