I'm new here, but would like to put in my 2 cents worth. I also have a short commute of under 5 miles, but I drive a 04 explorer with 4wd and 4.0 liter engine and will average about 16 in the winter. Thank goodness winter in MN is almost over and I can start biking to work. It looks like you bought it last fall which means it has only seen a winter blend of gas since you have owned it. I would like to know what the summer blend will give you. I have been tracking my mileage on fuelly for the last couple of years and have paid close attention to what brand of gas I use. So I know in my area which one will give me the best mileage, just something you might want to think about. On this web site (Fuelly) you can also compare what other people are getting on different models of cars. So I did a comparison for a car like yours and someone from the southern US who drives mainly in the city is currently getting low 20's for this time of year. So considering it's a lot warmer there and probably a different blend of gas you may not be that far off for your car.
