The MPG figure on your dash is the average calculated since your last "reset". I have also had low figures when driving in traffic or in the red light district. If you get back on the highway, the number will slowly come back up. Over the past few days, in moderate traffic mixed with some highway, I have been averaging about 22MPG.
You must also consider that any official test was probably done with the AC off and the windows up.
