I'm getting 13 mpg max around town

Car is '97 9K turbo, auto, 48K miles, just did plugs, changed oil, etc. Runs perfectly, like new--but MPG just took a dive around two weeks ago. Winter gas? Tire pressure with Michelins (90% tread) is 30-32 psi, No racks, no excess weight, no change in driving style (I drive mostly around town, emphasis on economy, not drag racing at the lights.) This is calculated using the old fashioned method of dividing gallons by miles, not the mileageometer on the instrument panel. Maybe they're mixing water with the gas, like we used to do after drinking our parents' booze. Who would be able to tell? Our parents never did.
