its possible it could be your exhaust but i doubt it.. changeing to a heavier oil wont help fuel economy in fact it will do the opposite.. basically your slight loss in miles per gallon could be a million and one things.. chuck some injector cleaner into the fuel and see if that helps..
as to your mechanic saying drive it harder.. he he.. mostly they say the opposite.. he must know u drive it like a pussy and is suggesting a good short thrash on the highway might fix things.. basically he has no idea what your problem might be (bear in mind some folks never get your figures to start with.. i dont) i assume u have the car serviced well.. it normally goes with the "pussy" driving and over attention to mpg.. he he
the good sharp thrash dosnt do any harm either.. gets the oil nice and hot and burns of water and other contaminates that accumulate in the oil if it never gets a hard drive.. your oil temp is not directly related to coolant temp.. more to how hard the car is being driven.. the oil does need to get hot every now and then..
