Stick your foot into a 3.0 to keep the rpm's up in city driving and it can drop down to 13. I work 3 miles from where I live. My mileage has dropped from 20ish to 18 with me driving to work only. I have gotten 25 on the highway with the 3.0 but I was running 60 mph in light freezing rain and the tail gate was down (this only happened once).
Yep, if I want to stay with the pack, I have to keep the revs up around 3200-3500, which kills the mpg. I drive like grandpa to get the better mpg. I'm not in a hurry to get to work anyway! LOL My commute is 35 miles each way, some city, some highway so it averages out some.
