For short 5 mile trips with a couple lights I think 16mpg is normal.

The first couple miles the engine is still warming up and throw in a couple lights and it just plain lukewarm city driving.

My drive in the morning is 15 miles, 6 miles with 16 lights city driving and 9 miles of highway at 70+mph.

I get 230 miles on 12 gallons(91octane) which is about 19mpg city/hwy.

My computer says about 16mpg in the city parts.

On pure Hwy cruising I have seen as high as 30mpg on the computer in 6th gear @75mph.
