Did you check the actual number and not %? We are only at 1 mpg (U.S.) difference. 39 vs 38 on the 90 day fill up. I drive very conservatively though. I'd like to think the auto trans is killing my FE, I should know by the end of summer.

I've got a simmilar issue, my 5-speed close ratio transmission is killing my fuel efficiency.
At 100 km/h (62 mph) I'm reving about 3000 rpm.
Even in city driving, I often find myself in 5th gear.
If I make the car a little more aerodynamic, I might even hit the rev limiter in 5th gear
