Default Missing on 6th cylinder

I bought my truck with a miss in the number 6 cylinder. It needs a valve job. Im just wondering if this is what is contributing to my 13.6 mpg in town. Im driving with a light foot, and take off slow from lights etc. Could this issue be the reason for my terrible mpg?

13.6 city sounds normal to me....maybe just a tick on the low side...
