06 Sport MPG and AC question

I have owned my 9-5 for a couple of months now, about 2700 miles. If I drive in anything resembling traffic I am get around 16 mpg. It has an auto tranny.best tank I have had in mixed driving is 22. I realize it's a big car, etc. The 99 9-3 SE Convertible I traded got 24-26 under the same conditiions, and it was a 5 speed. What kind of mileage is everyone else seeing? Also we havve mandatory for emissions 10% ethanol blend here. The other thing I have noticed is the AC vents don't blast the air like my 9K and 9-3 did. Even on max settings the air flow is very gentle on your face. I have tried recalibrating, no effect. The AC cools, even here where 100+ days are common...just doesn't blow as much as I think it should. Anyone else feel the same way?
