seems like extremely low compare to others (around 20 from this link:http://e89.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=320826)

is it because she's still in her "warm up stage" ?
or I'm not driving correctly ?
I have not been able to get mine below 17mpg during normal city driving. Did you do 100 miles as in 400 x 1/4 miles? Its indeed extremely low, but I have no idea if it is normal during the first 100 miles, which is essentially your question. 30mpg+ (US) is possible during longer trips if cruising at a constant 60-70mph, of course depending on wind conditions etc.
