Check some maintenance items: is your air filter clean? Fuel filter? When was the last time you checked your spark plug gap?
Tire pressures can also factor in, too! Don't forget to check those! Setting the pressures a few pounds higher might give you back an mpg or two. I suppose checking the fluids might make a small difference, too, since you mentioned AC on. If it's low on r-134a, the compressor will have to work harder, and be on more often... but that's a real stretch for a 4mpg difference. btw, highway driving makes a huge difference for my 5sp. Aero; try filling up just before and right after your next big highway trip and see if the the freeway miles are the difference? Good luck
