Terrable fuel consumption

Stock Sahara, 6-speed with the 4.10 gearing. Just got it.
I'm getting 11.75 mpg, all city stop and go, and in the snow with the heater on full blast and idling 15 minutes a day.
This is worse than the outgoing TJ, and worse than my friend's H2. I'm hoping the combination of engine break-in, less snow, and warmer weather in the near future will pull me up to 15 mpg.

Mine gets 17.5 to 18.2 driving to work (about 20miles each way). When I drove to NY (about 350miles) it was getting 21.9mpg. I haven't really measured it, just what the mpg reader says. But I can almost swear that after the CAI the mpg has dropped a couple of #'s.
In any case I don't care. I bought it cuz I liked it and not for the mpg. If I would have cared about that I would have bought a Jetta TDI.

I used this site and came up with 18L/100KM equals 13.07MPG
Can anyone verify
