a new car shouldn't already be having bad gas mileage, especially on a 4cyl application. go back to your dealer and get it checked out. you still have plenty of time left on your warranty.

looks like milage is really low even for new car.
Mine was giving 25+ in first years.
Make sure your lock gas tank tightly (Some times you may get lights on if thats the case)

go back to the dealer....you might have a faulty o2 sensor... or maybe even a leak in the fuel line somewhere.
