Sounds about right.

My I6 ZJ gets 15-20 depending on how I baby it
and you have about the same brick-on-wheels
aerodynamics.

I did find that STP Gas Treatment helps a bit.
Ran it to help clean out injectors/etc and got
a few extra mpg on the highway.

Chevron Techron is also a very good additive to clean out injectors
and give a bit of a mpg bonus.

Of course you have to figure out the cost benefit.
