Hey folks. Just created an account for this particular issue. I just purchased a 2014 Ecoboosted SE in March and I noticed something that I'm not too fond of...the gas mileage. I'm totally confused and I know that people say that the car takes about 10,000m to get the mileage you want out of it, but I just don't understand how or why that helps or applies here. Could someone explain that to me?
I'm going to post some pictures and I was wondering if you guys could tell me if this is anything out of the ordinary.

This a photo of my gauge right after I filled it to exactly half a tank. 5.6 something gallons with 211mi to e. https://www.flickr.com/photos/willmakesthings/14065680679/ One mile later and I've already put a huge dent in the gas gauge. https://www.flickr.com/photos/willmakesthings/14250148582/
And...15 miles later...I'm severely hurting here. The gauge reads a discrepancy of 42 miles compared to the actual 15 miles registered on the odometer. At this rate, I use A over a quarter a tank in one trip to work. What the hell is going on? Do I need to get this thing serviced already? ANY info will help at all. Thanks!
