Seriously though, some of us use it as our daily driver, and it CAN add up. For example, on many weeks I can put on 500+ city miles a week.
I don't think we're griping or getting cheezed off about it. I think that all of us when we bought the car we were not expecting 30 or 40 MPG. But comparing fuel mileage can also shed light on the condition of the car, an indication that something else is wrong. I think even getting 19-21MPG city for such a car is fantastic. In comparision to my '00 Legacy, it only does 10% better, at a cost of 65hp.
I'm getting 15-17MPG city, but that's because of a shot O2 sensor.
My 2 cents. (which, in fuel, will get me from my garage to the end of my driveway  )
