Over 9 years and 110K miles in my '96 9K I've found that mileage does move around a bit.
You could have an O2 sensor that isn't quite up to snuff but not bad enough to trigger a CEL. I see that in my daughter's 9-3, and the drop is up to 5 mpg. A bad one that throws a CEL in a 9K can drop you 10-12 mpg. The shift to winter gas is a likely influence, too. And the duff BPC may be in the mix. When I had one that was bad I seem to recall my mileage dipped a bit. Have you changed tires recently? Are the tire pressures all good? Is it cold where you are? Mileage drops in colder temps.
Lots of variables.
