this is a pretty old thread but here i go...
14mpg sounds ridiculous for a 3gTL, even for pure city driving. Unless you're flooring the car everytime you take off, you should be getting around 19-20mpg average, but i don't think you're flooring it, right? =D
I have an 08 TL type s and i'm getting 23 ciry 29 hwy, i noticed my mileage go down during the winter time because my tires wern't properly inflated. Try going with 33psi rear 36 psi front when tires are cold, see if that helps a little.

o.k.. update. I just managed to get 31mpg on my 07 type S. Crazy as it sounds, I went from averaging 20mpg to hwy 31mpg by shedding a few lbs off the car and doing the 3x3 tranny fluid change. I used amsoil. I'm so psyched I was able to get my mpg up there. I've had one grip w/ this car and it's been the mpg I get. Now I'm happy

well.. I don't live in the city.. I'm more of a highway driver (long island expressway). I did reset the trip meter and it was all highway miles, but I had never seen my mpg go anywhere near 31.. ever.. even when taking the same trip in the past. Same trip / same driving habits before any of the work I did, I was averaging 26 mpg. so technically it was a 5 mpg increase. By the time I got home (about 10 mins of non hwy side roads) it was down to 29
