MPG question?

Okay, I've now put on 10,600 miles onto my 00' 9-3 SE and I love the thing. Initially I didn't pay much attention to the gas mileage because I knew there was a break in period and with time the engine would start showing better mileage. Fine and dandy - except now my mpg seems to be going down. I'm willing to accept low milage to some level, granted I have an automatic and drive somewhat aggressively and I'm in Boston so there is a lot of stop and go traffic... but right now my SID is showing that I'm getting 15.4 MPG and it goes down the more I drive. When I first fill up and reset the SID, it is obviously a higher number b/c it has less data to work with, but further into the tank whenit has more data, I get a
lower number... the 15.4.
<br>
So what is a normal amount to get? I know that it claims 19 or so for city driving and I'd be happy with 18. I used to do road trips every weekend (180 miles each way) and would get great mileage with that, close to 30MPG, but my round the town and some highway driving MPG sucks.
<br>
Any ideas? Thanks.
