Terrible Subaru mileage

My 98 Subaru Legacy wagon is getting awful mileage...this one has the little
2.2L 4 cyl with 137 hp and 140 ft-lbs. It's rated at 23 mpg city and
30 highway. Since my commute these days is 95% done on rt 95 from Waltham,MA
to Burlington,MA, I'd expect to be getting better than 21 mpg! Most days
the traffic is between 50 and 70 mph, with little gridlock (at least at the
times I drive).
The car has fresh spark plugs and wires, has 104k miles, and does need new
tires. Any suggestions as to why the mileage is so bad? I'm not a particularly
aggressive driver and use cruise control when I can...maybe I'll have to
borrow the wife's 9-5 for a few days ;-)
