Gas Mileage - What should I expect?

I am the second owner of a '99 9-5 Sport Wagon, 2.3lpt, with an automatic transmission. I bought it with 37K and it now has 45K. According to the trip computer, the worst gas mileage for a tank of gas (93 octane) was 17.9 miles per gallon (mixed driving) and the best was 22.9 mpg (highway).
I'm not sure what ratings were for this model year, but this seems pathetic. Hell, my '86 900 still gets 20-21 mpg around town and 29-31 mpg highway and it has 150K on it! Is this normal gas mileage for a 9-5 for that year?
