I get between 15-18 in my DD, and that's fine by me. Short 7 mile commute, and I like having a well of torque under my right foot. She'll turn 28mpg on the freeway, so it's not all bad.

When I drove 20k miles a year in college, the 30 mpg my Jetta averaged wasn't good enough, but at 8k miles a year, 15 is just fine.
