That does seem extreme. Where are you located? Temperature can have an extreme effect on mileage, plus your engine is still very tight. I noticed that my engine didn't start to really loosen up until 5,000 km or so. The auto trans will hurt the mileage somewhat, but I couldn't guess by how much. Lastly, check your tire pressure. My tires will loose several pounds of pressure on cold days, and that really kills the mileage.
I have a Linear 5-speed in Toronto, and my mileage according to the SID, very rarely exceeds 11 or even 12 litres/100KM in mixed city/hwy driving. Occasionally, it may spike up if I reset it and sit in stop and go traffic for a while. However, I do notice that the mileage really tanks, on extremely cold -20C weather.
