I also live in the PNW, and I average between 17-19 in an all city, extremely low speed limit environment (our highest speed limit in town is 40, and my daily commute is about 7 miles round trip.
On the highway running 68-72 I've seen as high as 28.

10 minutes is a little excessive. Idling is your worst enemy when it comes to internal combustion engines. You burn the most gas idling because you aren't getting any miles per gallon.
