If that's the case, it's not too bad, but it is when everyone else seems to be averaging 19 mpg >_>

All depends on the driving. You probably idle your car to warm it up more than most, and I fight Atlanta traffic. Others who float around town with the low speed cruise and stop lights will get better mileage.

One other thing I noticed is that you haven't mentioned your air filter. If that is restricting airflow then your MPG will drop.

Ah, I used to warm it up too much, now I am sticking to the 10-15 seconds, drive it lightly till it hits 160 and then drive whichever way I want from there haha.
I have an open cone intake system (shotty made by me) but that's supposed to increase gas mileage.

It should as long as it isn't filled with dirt or something.

I doubt it, the thing was made only about 2 months ago haha.
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

The only other troublemaker would be aerodynamics/suspension. If the suspension is not riding weird, then your probably okay.
When my struts were going and the car kept getting lower and lower, my MPG's went up a bit. Totally not worth it though.

Another Idea is to take it out for an expressway cruise and calculate the MPG of that. If that is low than maybe we are missing something.

16 City
19 Combined
25 Highway
EPA for your car
Make sure the thermostat is the correct one for your car.

City driving sucks for these cars imo. With mostly highway driving I get about 24mpg.

I get around 27 highway. I get about 19 in the city.
