You're right, considering all my miles. If you only look at commuting miles (No heavy loads or trailers), my recent average is over 20mpg. It doesn't take many miles at 14mpg to pull the average way down.
I have gotten a few trips at 20+ but the wind has to be just right, the moon full, and I have to throw salt over my left shoulder first and recite an incantation. So a couple of 20+ readings do not make for a good 20+ fe claim. IIRC looking through the pickups at the EM garage does not reveal much good luck out there for 20+.
