Mileage that poor does suggest either poor driving habits or a bad need of a major tune up (as suggested above) or a combination of both.

Takes fuel to make power.
I get around 20 jackrabbiting light to light. I get high 20's on th freeway and if I stay out of it I can hit 30mpg.

I was VERY careful with my exhaust duration and initial opening point on my intake ports for that exact reason. Overlap is very minimal on my motor.
My all time horseshit mileage was 220mi /16 gal = 13ish mpg. That was absolutely hammering the car on every launch and keeping it floored for most of its running.
If I'm not seeing 340mi out of a full tank in town, I wonder whats up.
