Good question. My 2000 base 9-3 gets about the same. I suppose at 55 it might flirt with 28 mpg. My 1997 900S, with non-turbo 2.3, got 31 mpg between Missouri and Las Vegas in 98. Why the difference? I guess part of it, for me, is running in "Sport" mode so much...heavier foot. :)
I baby the car, so things are clean, i.e. air filters, etc. I dunno.
Of course all things are relative...my 99 Dodge Ram truck with V-10 gets about 12 or less. :)
