2. Take it out on the highway away from traffic where you can let it run for an hour on cruise control at 60-70 mph. If you're still at 12mph, something is wrong with the car.

On a related note: My father and I have identical 2012 Genesis sedans (4.6 v8's). I get nearly 20mph daily driving the car in light traffic with pretty heavy reliance on cruise control (30-50 mph). He's retired and gets 12 while doing his thing up and down US-41. He asked me why his is worse, so I went with him on a ride. Answer became very simple after 3 minutes: It's all in his right foot.

The Mistress doesn't get the same light treatment... she gets 12-13 maybe 14 on a good tank
