Colorado uses a oxygenated fuel blends during winter months to "reduce" vehicle emissions. Given the altitude, oxgenated fuels, and turbo kicking in on the climbs, it doesn't surpise me that your fuel milage suffered.
I live at 6500ft and on average my 95 gets around 23MPG city, but when I go to Breckenridge it will drop to around 20 - probably due to my lead foot over the mountain passes. My wife's 93 get around the same milage.
When I drive to visit family in Missouri, my milage will increase to 30-34 MPG. I don't think your car is having a problems, it is a result of blended fuels, altitude and high use of turbo in the hills.
