I get the same usualy 16-17 in heavy city traffic, 20-23 weekend, and 30 going out of town highway driving. But on my way to work I average about 10mph, most of which is slam on the gas, slam on the brakes. Not the best kind of driving as far as efficency goes. But I can't complain, I was lucky with my 91 Bronco if I got 7... yes 7. (5.8L with blowers and a 3 inch flowmaster. Awsome truck, terrible commuter car...)
