In the winter mine gets around 14 mpg city and low 20's on the highway, summer time is better around 20mpg city and high 20's on the highway.

These are Canadian gallons which are larger than the US gallon so IMO this 2.9L is a pig on fuel.

I'd do a complete tune up, and check the Fuel Pressure Reg.
