2000 SE V6, MPG & various questions

Just bought my 4-spd automatic SE wagon with 59k miles, all stock. It's white with taupe interior. I am a virgin Saab owner...didn't know what I was getting in to, but I love the car and I love this site. The heated seats are perfect after a morning surf session and the styling is so cool.
Any good performance shops in the Socal area (particularly North San Diego, if there are any other Saab guys up here)? I would love someone to take a quick look over my car and make some recommendations. MPG's seem low (like 17.8, 24mph according to SID), engine noise to me seems like a diesel, which the wife doesn't like, but the car seems to fly if you step on the pedal--smoked a brand new Ford Ranger this morning who somehow decided to take me on at 2 lights...like he didn't get embarrased by an old (but beautiful) SE wagon with racks at the first?
Any suggestions? Cat converter was changed at 40k.
I've also got the small dime sized oil leak at the front driver's side which I think is the turbo oil filter tube? Please advise.
Thanks,
Tom
