Low gas mileage in my 9-3??

Hi,
Just curious if I'm getting unusually bad mileage or if it's normal. I have a 1999 9-3SE automatic and am getting around 300 miles/tank...which equates to roughly 18 mpg. I believe these were rated at 19/25.
I know...millions of variables. I probably do 30% driving on the highway and the rest is city. Also, I'm in San Francisco so that obviously means a lot of hills. Other than that, I have new spark plugs and generally don't floor it too often. I'll probably switch over to a synthetic oil next change so maybe a low viscosity might help a bit, but it just seems like awfully bad mileage for a 4-cylinder car.
Thanks for your advice.
