Winter mpg - What do you get?

[1G_DSM]

I'm not too happy with my winter mpg and I'm wondering what everyone else gets. I drive a bone stock automatic 94 Eagle Talon TSI AWD. I'm rated at 17 city, 20 hiway from the factory. Right now I average only 17.5'ish mpg. I pump only BP 93 and I always warm-up and cool-down my car. I tried removing my spar tire and jack to reduce some weight but I don't think that helped very much. I also bumped up my tire pressure to 36psi. I don't think that helped very much either. I drive like a grandma and still only manage like 17.5 mpg :'(

Is it highway, stop and go?

Low compression, AWD, Automatic (lots of drive train loss)
You have a lot against you...

I'm averaging 17.5'ish combined although I would say that I do a lot more hiway than stop and go driving since I live in St. Paul but work in Minneapolis. I was averaging 19 something before it got cold out and I wasn't even trying to get good mpg at the time.

In the hatch not trying and not being nice to it I get 30mpg on pump 92. Aly gets 32mpg in the 01 mirage sedan 1.8 auto

That is really good, that is what I average on E85 in my automagic and its depressing since I'm used to 30+mpg vehicles, my civic gets about 34mpg while I hate its lack of power I love the fact I'm driving 350+ miles a week and only filling up one.
