Wow, that sucks. The lowest I've ever gotten was 17.2 on my first full tank after purchase. With Borla, Z-tube/K&N, Plenum spacer and aluminum pedals I'm averaging 20-20.5. And I drive crazytime. To the floor dozens of times per day.
AWD isn't helping your case though. Losing a couple mpgs from that alone probably.
don't feel bad, I average about 12mpg overall, mostly local driving (city). But I drive the car like it's meant to be driven! I think it may be a result of all the mods, perhaps not. Having a 6 speed has a lot to do with it, I power brake a lot and row those gears! Cuts down on brake dust! LOL!
Edit to THX007: no hole, it's just the way I drive (so I've been told)
Edit to Doggy Door: 20-27 mpg is amazing since the 6 speed is rated (EPA) at 18/26
Edit to Neal376: this is NOT something you win: it costs $70 to fill my tank! (from empty)

Holy crap my friend! 12mpg?? I think you've got a hole in your fuel line!

Holy crap!! I get like 20 mpg and I drive to campus and back like 5 times a day, which is about a mile. That is the worst driving conditions. On the highway, I get around 26-27. BTW, I also drive like I stole it. It least the 2003's have something going for them...

nah, he has the doggy door (03) 6mt. that thing was rated EPA 20/27. It is still amazing that he is getting EPA estimates. Probably because it has some age on it.
$70!!! that expensive in AZ?!?!
