Every time this topic comes up I observe manual drivers getting much better mileage than automatics. I have a '00 9-3 4-d auto base and I get an average of 18-19 MPG on my SID. I do live in San Francisco which is hilly and full of traffic. But according to fueleconomy.gov, that's still between the 17/24 my car is rated at.
If your car seems to be running fine, I'd suspect its a combination of snow tires and ethanol. Gas mileage drops significantly if ethanol is mixed into your gasoline. Techron concentrate always helps.
