Don't forget, it probably has a smaller gas tank than your previous car, so while it may seem like you're burning through gas faster...the tank is rather small so you will need to stop for gas more often.

I think the instant gas mileage is only useful as a pointer about what sorts of driving styles cause bad mileage - i.e. hard acceleration obviously puts you at higher consumption, but also hard deceleration as pointed out before.
I use it to gauge how much unnecessary consumption I am causing (i.e. if I'm not in "fun mode")
