Low Gas Mileage after 60K service

I've had my 2003 9-3 Arc for about 4 years (bought it new). I've done all the maintenance and have unfortunately had to take it quite often. I recently had them do the 60k service. Afterwards, my gas mileage dropped to around 21 to 22 mpg (city). It was previously around 24 to 25 mpg (city). I filled it up a couple of times in about 3 weeks at different gas stations and it continued to be low. My driving hasn't changed, the places I'm going hasn't changed, so the only thing I can point it to is the service the performed. I also tracked the mileage using the mileage counter behind the steering wheel. It went from around 380 miles per tank to around 300. I took it back in and they said the tune-up didn't have anything to do with it and that I just needed a software update. I don't think that's it and I noticed that mileage is still really low. Is there anything they could have done wrong that would cause this drop in gas mileage?
