That's consistent with my MPG, and so far (8000 miles on an '01) the actual MPG = the SID display. My mileage has been improving steadily since about 5000 miles. My last tank was ALL urban city (stop & go, hwy stints of less than 5 miles), & MPG was 18. In the 1st couple of months, an ALL city tank would have been around 16.5. May not sound like much of of a diff., but that's actually a 9% increase.
By the way, this car really loosened up after around 5000 miles. It's faster, smoother and drives "lighter" than when new. I thought it was just me, but my wife took it for a spin (she rarely drives it) and wanted to know what I changed!
Finally, check posts from early July - there is a similar thread with other people's experience.
