unless its an automatic with a lot of heavy stuff in it driven exclusively in heavy traffic 13 miles per gallon is low. My 1980 in exclusively city traffic driving got about 17-19 mpg. 1991 5speed gets about 20 in city and 26-28 on highway. I would check the obvious stuff first, tire pressures, vacuum leaks, and altering driving style can help lots. A good tuneup might help. Is the car running ok? would you characterize yourself as a "leadfoot?" is your parking brake sticking? do you have 5 computers in the trunk? If its an auto it may make more sense. our 1985 auto gets more like 15-23 mpg in various combinations of city/hiway driving.
