Yeah, you have two things contributing to your low fuel economy, (1) your engine is still "breaking in", and more importantly,(2) the type of driving (mostly city) you are doing. My V6, at 34,000 miles, gets 21 to 23 mpg in town and 31 to 33 on the highway, with an overall average slightly above 25 mpg. Be patient; it will improve. You really should be putting more than 10 miles per trip on the car. That is sufficient distance for the engine coolant to warm up, but neither the engine oil nor the transmission fluid will probably reach optimal operating temperature.
