How many miles do you get at halfway mark?
I got 130 mph exactly at the halfway mark. That equals 16 mpg. I shifted at 2k rpms each time, and only went wot 2 times. All I have is a catback muffler. Is something wrong with my car? Other times when I shift at 3k I average 14 mpg 
What could possibly be wrong?
Oh and I drive mostly in the city (SF).

wow, 300 to 400? holy moly. the most i've gotten in 1 tank is about 310 and that's only 14 gallons. I know it's 14 cuz when i go fill up, i only fill up about 14 =P but that still comes out to be decent mileage considering it's half local, half freeway. i shift around 2500 to 3500

I average about 20mpg and that's mostly city driving and short trips (3miles). That includes some 6k rpm onramp runs, but mostly regular city driving shifting at 3k-4k. Is your car still new or have you reset your ecu? Maybe you should get it checked at the dealer if it continues. Go to Carlsen if you can, they're super nice and will try their best to look into it for you. Oh and try switching gas brands, sometimes that could help.

I average 22-24 MPG and that involves an even mix of freeway and city, maybe leaning toward city....
I drive like an *** so I hit 6 k a lot...
Something is wrong would be my guess

Start off by properly calculating you gas mileage.
Next fill up, reset your trip odometer, fill up till the pump automatically stops
The following fill up again fill up untill the pump automatically stops, note the distance travelled divide by how many gallons were pumped.
Now you've got a accurate fuel economy figure, do it again a few times and you've got something to go on.

thats actually pretty normal. if most of your driving is in the city. when i drive mainly in the city, my mileage goes straight to hell, but when i go on freeway i get better.
city driving i normally get 160miles a half a tank.
freeway driving i normally get anywhere from 180-210. last fill up i had the best mileage in a long time. 24mpg. ive noticed after switching gas co, after using the same one for a long time seems to improve my mileage. strange.
