Angry New Dodge Journey AW RT gives only 10MPG

I bought a new Dodge Journey AWD RT ,a 7 seater .in August 2012.I have around 4000km on it as I just drive it to my work place in the city.I have monitored the fuel efficiency ,I never get more then 11MPG.
ON an average I drive 122km for every 31L.It also includes Highway miles.
Is it normal???

Dealership is asking me to wait until 18000km (first they said the break in was 7000km , next they changed it to 11000km ,now its 18000km).
I love the car but the fuel consumption is killing me.
My warranty gets over in another 3-4 months .
What should I do ?

Considering you are getting less than HALF of what it is rated for..... I am thinkin' something is certainly awry there. I would have a serious chat with the dealer.... and if you can't get satisfaction from them, trade it in somewhere else.

Welcome to DF! Document your mileage and talk to the dealer before the warranty runs out.
