There are many factors: engine oil, temperature/climate, altitude, weather, fuel, tire pressure, dragging brakes...
The only thing that you can do to monitor MPGs is to clear the SID on the highway with a well warmed up engine and at speed. This eliminates changes from cold start temperature effects and acceleration styles and city traffic. By doing this you can best track changes and trends. You can become aware of the effects of winds and temperature.
Check tire pressure and plugs if they have been in service for an extended amount of time. 10% ethanol fuel may cost you 10% in MPGs. The Trionic can deliver less MPGs with some lower octane fuels. T5's loose MPGs in the cold and high temperatures. T7's are much better at MPGs all around and maintain MPGs in temperature extremes. I do not know enough about the naturally aspirated Motronic systems to say anything.
