Holy crappy gas mileage on a 3.0 ouch

I have an 04 3.0 which i drive in the city. On stop and go traffic I got 11mpg - holy crap thats horrible. Has anyone who lives 100% in the city gotten that bad? Glad I use this car to commute back to my office in the burbs, but jebus, i could have just gotten a 4.4 or 4.6 like i originally planned.

Any input on what may be wrong?

Things I checked:

1. Tire pressure perfect
2. Air filter clean as a whistle
3. car just maintenanced at BMW (very good dealership in chicago Knauz)

I work in the aftermarket car part business, and im now considering an intake of some sort haha - no seriouly, any special input on 3.0's? Is there a way of driving to get better gas.

btw gas is 3.99 a gallon in chicago now for premium = woohoo
