14mpg city sound right?

I am getting 14mpg in-city driving on a 98 9000 auto. Does that sound right? I am getting no error codes and the car runs great. When I say "in-city" driving I mean going on very short trips like to the grocery store and back with plenty of stop lights and stop signs in between. 5-10 minute trips. I drive the speed limit and don't start off from stop signs too quickly (nor too slowly).
I would think that if the was something wrong with an O2 sensor, I would get an error code. I've owned the car for 4 years and it has always had horrible city mileage. If I drive the car on the freeway without stopping at 65, I can get 25 mpg but that is the absolute best I can get.
