Don't know what your problem is, but thats definitely half of what they should be at least...Hopefully some one can help you out on here, or take it to a mechanic and ask him to look at it.

Yea would bank on the head gasket being bad. Check to see of your oil is kind of milky. I would also run a leak down test and pull off the radiator cap to see if any air bubbles out. If it does then you are going to need a head gasket. Make sure you get it changed ASAP because coolant is not a good lubricator. The longer you let it go the more damage it will do to you internals (bearing, rings, ect.).
