the motor will adapt to your driving style... drive it like an old lady and it'll perform that way... drive it like you stole it and it'll be a lot more fun to drive. your mpg increase? I have no idea.

Is it a 5 speed manual or a 4 speed automatic?

if it is a manual you may have actually been shifting too soon trying to conserve gas and putting unnecessary strain on the engine in doing so.

Also there could be a ton of other variables... do you change where you have been driving too? has the weather changed a great deal since your last mileage check? Recently changed your tire preasure?
