I'd say yes the estimated city is 18 so 4 under the listed city avg would indicate something is wrong ofc to get 14 in a V6 I think you would know what you had done wrong. :/

You reading that off of your screen? I wouldn't rely on that computer giving you accurate info.

Mine will say 15.8 or 15.9 mpg but if I do the math myself I'm at 17.

OK, many won't believe this but, 28mpg highway! Just finished a 730 mile trip in the mountains and got 27mpg, and we passed everything (i.e. driven hard).

Daily communting (70% hiway) I average 22-23mpg, but drive it reasonably to get that.

I don't live in an area that has true city driving, so can't comment on that. For a road car, i'm very happy with the fuel economy.
