Driving in SFL is a challenge in its self, it is not conducive to good mpg. No real hills for coasting, more stop signs than trees, air conditioning running almost constantly and heavy traffic. Under these conditions and the fact that you only had the car for 3 months (fuel log) I think you are being a little hard on yourself. What techniques have you tried, are you using? If you got the car used don't forget the maintenance aspect.
