Poor MPG lately

Greetings,
Long time follower and first time posting. My 02' Linear with 105K original miles has been getting at best 19.4 MPG. No error codes has registered so far. I had a tune-up this past summer and here's the list:
1. Tranny fluid flush
2. New Spark Plugs
3. Gas filter
4. Air filter
5. Coolant flush
6. New Tires (Bridgestone G019 x 4)
I could expect the plugs are probably gaped wrong or the new tires giving more resistance or ??
According the receipt, the plugs were used on my Saab are from Denso Iridium plugs vs NGK (BCPR6ES).
The car starts and runs great. It doesn't leak any fluid or smell of any foul odor of any kind.
Is there some kind of a firmware that I need to update to this Linear to get better performance and gas mileage that yo know of??
I need some directions to where I should start looking into. I hate to take the car to the stealer since we only have 2 stealers here and they are both really bad.
Please Help.
Thank you in advance.
Ian D.
