I've stated before: mileage is HUGHLY dependant on what you call "city" driving. I have a 92 9000T/5spd. I get about 16 MPG in the same conditions you describe. I also owned a 91 9000NA/auto that got about 14 MPG in the same settings. In stop light to stop light (or stop sign), you are mostly accelerating -- hence poor mileage. When I drive in more suburban conditions (what some might call "city" driving), my mileage jumps to 20MPG+. If you watch you're "real time" fuel economy EDU while accelerating, you'll notice it hovers around 5-10 MPG during acceleration. You should still check your air/fuel filters and o2 sensor as well as the "flow" of your cat. All these affect mileage. Hope this helps.
