God if only you guys from america lived in the uk am sure you would own diesels, with your Mpg you would be spending a fortune on fuel
It's not quite as bad as you think, the US gallon is 20% smaller than the UK gallon so US numbers will always be understated compared to their UK counterparts.

Back on topic, I used to get about 15 in my 550. I actually get better MPG from my 911 than I got from my 550...

Yes, maybe change spark plugs, clean the MAF and check air-filter and tires.
