I used to get a constistent 21-22mpg mixed in my stock automatic ix, and 22-26mpg on the freeway. You're not that far off, but I'm sure your car could use some maintenance.
as far as the 318, I was getting a consistent 29mpg in a slipping-to-hell clutch, beat to shit pile of a 318is with all kinds of crap in the interior/trunk.

What maintenance could I do? Excuse the noob questions, I'm still learning here :(
cap, rotor, plugs, fuel filter, air filter, gaskets/o-rings/seals (intake manifold, injectors, valve cover/grommets, etc), check intake boot for holes/cracks, inspect vacuum lines for cracks (you want to eliminate vacuum leaks), test coolant sensor (this has a BIG effect on mileage if it's bad), replace O2 sensor, test fuel pressure, etc.
Most people start by installing a chip, $300 ebay wheels and drop-springs, and then post about how much their car sucks because it's broken down all the time. i think you're on the right path if you're asking about maintenance first. ;)

Alright, I was just worried that something was wrong, or not working optimally on my car, but if you guys are somewhere in that range too, im not going to wory that much.
I'm still gonna attempt a tuneup though.
