Gas mileage

I am curious what kind of mileage most of you out there are getting. On my old 16v I would average about 20mpg in town and about 25 on the highway. After an extensive tune up I got 28mpg on the highway. Well, that car is no longer with us so I now have an 8v. I drove it home the five hours and got about 22 mpg on the interstate averaging about 75 to 80 mph. It was barely over 0 degrees however. I am planning on getting the same kind of tune up in about a month. I am wondering what I should look for in mileage. I don't think of my self as a lead foot. With the weather being cold and with my habit of long warm ups and letting it run for a bout a half hour on my lunch breaks, I got 158 miles with a little over 10 gallons of 89 octane the last tank. (I don't like to let it get much below a half tank when it is this cold.) Well, thanks for all the help. Oh and a side note: Are there any good SAAB shops around the Bozeman, MT area. I will be moving there in about four months and want to make sure I can get service there without people thinking I drive an Audi.
