Could be a bad fuel guage or sender issues. I'd fill it up all the way and see where the guage reads, reset odometer, grab a full 2 gallon can of gas and put in trunk, then drive 200 miles - if the car didn't run out of gas by then, then your mileage should be OK (better than you thought at least).
15 gallons (a fill up) times 15 mpg (you should get better mileage, but trying to keep you from running out on the side of the road) = 225 miles, so rounded down to 200 for added measure.
