The gas mileage will get better as the engine 'breaks-in' over the next 5,000 miles.
I drive about 6 miles each way to work, and only get about 18 MPG with my 1998 900SET w/ automatic transmission. However, that is due to the engine barely getting to running temperature. On trips of say 20-25 miles, I get 22 MPG, and on long freeway trips I get 30+ MPG.
