Math: That suggests 15 MPG correct? Depending on conditions and how it's used that could be that low but ordinary use would be much higher. I'd have codes pulled if you really think this is wrong,

You're not so far off. The EPA rating on the car is only 18 city and we all know you never see that, especially as engine wear sets in.
