worsening mileage at 90k

For 75-80k miles my '01 9-5 2.3 wagon has gotten 24-25 mpg overall (usually about 30-32 mpg on a highway trip). Now at 90k, the overall has sagged recently to 20.5mpg (25 or so highway). It has had dealer service every 5k, and just had its 90k major service (including an intake cleaning which has helped with a 1-2 mpg difference before), but the service made no difference to the mileage. It feels a little rough when it runs, but it's subtle (only I seem to feel it - but the mileage is an objective indicator...)
Any ideas ? What should I ask the dealer to do (they don't seem all that excited about looking, since the car just had its 90k service, the emissions test OK, and there's nothing on the computer - the only thing is the bad mileage).
All suggestions welcomed.
Thanks,
TB
