Cold Weather and '99 9-3

It would seem that the cold weather is really hurting my gas mileage. I was averaging roughly 29MPG in the summer months and now I'm lucky to see 23MPG. I expected some MPG loss, but not this much. I guess it's just the temp... I live in Wisconsin and we haven't seen the 20's for at least 2 weeks.
Also, I had to leave my car parked in long term parking for a few days during our first cold snap. When I got in my car, let it idle for a short while and drove off I noticed a very loud clunk coming from the front end every time I would hit a bump in the road. I assumed it was ice because after hitting a few bumps, the clunking would stop. But it continues to do this on cold mornings. After hitting a few bumps, the clucking stops. Could it be water leaking into the front suspension from somewhere and freezing every night?
Thanks in advance,
SR
