Re: 1996 900 Turbo mileage question

I recently bought a 1996 900 SE Turbo and drove it from SF to Vegas. I was getting only about 28-30 mpg on the highway going about 75 mph. That seems very low for a 5 speed. I had a 1999 9-3 5 sp and got around 35 mpg while driving on the highway.
An interesting thing I noted was that when I took the car up to 80 mph on the highway, the mileage seemed to increase by about 2 mpg, running around 3000 rpm. Can anyone comment on if a 96 900 SE 2 dr coupe should be getting such poor gas mileage? Tires seemed to be at the right pressure, altho I did not check that before going on this long trip.
Thanks,
Peter
