As a V6 owner, I can't help too much. But several questions first:
What kinda driving (city/highway/mix)? City start-stop or city freeway? Manual or auto? (Maybe I should know this from the SETC but I don't.) What are your driving habits (hard/light/moderate)? Bike rack or anything else on top?
My 1994 900 S V6 auto gets low mileage in town (city streets, starts and stops, no freeway), around 19-20mpg. But on the freeway, I can hit up to 35 mpg if doing 55-60mph. More typical for me is 32-33 mpg on the highway at 70mph. Bike rack puts a serious dent in the mileage (5-10%) even with no bikes on top. (I do not have a fairing for the rack.)
For the record, the EPA rating for my car is 19 city, 25 highway. You can check what yours was rated at using the "model info" section off the TSN main page.
