Gas Mileage

So I've had my 02 6spd for about two weeks now. I filled it up shortly after buying it using 91 @ chevron. Anyhow I was able to get up to 275 miles on one tank. I think these come with 18 gallon tanks so my math tells me I got appx 15 miles/gallon which is atrocious. Granted I upgraded from a 94 altima so the bigger engine was thoroughly tested these past two weeks, and I'm still getting used to shifting approrpriately. But nonetheless, 15MPG is pretty weak. Just wondering what I should be expecting. Edmunds.com reports 21 city, 28 Hwy.

What are you guys getting?

Some of you still cannot grasp the concept of miles per gallon.

dont feel bad, i'm finding out the same thing, i think i'll drive my Legend coupe a little more. for some reason the gas lasts longer even though its an automatic.
