Your tire pressure may well have not been fine when you left the dealer. They set them at the minimum or lower as they think they will sell more cars if they have a smoother ride. I run 40 psi for the sake of better milage and performance though many on this board prefer 38 front and 36 rear (the slightly higher front pressure reduces understeer). In any case, higher tire pressure improves mileage along with cornering and stopping performance.
Second, Dean is correct, the milage will improve quite a bit with break in. E.g., the wife and I took a 400 mile round trip last summer right after she got her new 9-3 convertible, got 27.6 mpg. See repeated the journey last week with a bit more then 3000 mi on the car and got 30.4 mpg.
