14-16 is dismal and it's not even cold yet. I think 18 is relatively poor around town. Mine needed a new O2 sensor to get the mpg back to 20-21/28 highway.

Unplug the ECT sensor and prob the sensor for resistance when cold and hot. It should be:

0C = 7300 Ohms
20C = 2800
40C = 1200
80C = 300
100C = 150

Almost a straight curve. Any resistance much higher than those numbers indicates a colder engine = equals more gasoline used.
