so far everything you said seems normal.... You only have 167 miles on the car and some of them are driven "hard". Before starting a thread with such a dramatic topic I would recomend going through the full tank 1st.

sorry for the dramatic thread!!! it's just that 12.5 mpg is too little... i'm hopin for it to go up...

Its fine. When you get your car programmed anytime, it will do the same thing. It will read properly after a few more days of driving.

Why dont you reset the average miles per gallon and then make your assesment. Do you know how to do that?

No worries.... It will go up for sure. Enjoy your new car.

It has been tooling around. A few days under your driving pattern should show what to expect.

yea i just figured that out .... and i took the car for a long drive just to c if really was the local driving that was taking too much gas.... i took a trip to my brother's house all the way in Maryland ( 300 miles to and fro) and the results were a lot better... i got 27.9 mpg after i reset the trip computer....now i'm relieved.... thanx 4 the advice...
