I would also track it by the number of gallons since last fill up and the amt of miles I can drive before i reach to about the same point. It's usually around 320 miles max for 17 gallons.

My buddies' 2007 Corvette get's 19 MPG and that's a V8 much bigger engine. More reason as to why I'm concerned. I should at least get 20 MPG.
Vette engines are ridiculously efficient. I wouldn't worry about that. The current Z06 was the first production road car to achieve 500hp and have a high enough mileage to avoid the U.S.'s "gas guzzler" tax.
