ML Gas Mileage

I know that this topic depends alot on the driver, in other words your mileage may vary......

But it seems to me that my ML's gas mileage is getting worse. The 430 has the trip computer which gives me an average as well as instantaenous readings. It's a low mileage ~18K MY2000 with very clean synthetic oil. I only use Chevron super (92 octane) whenever possible so that's a constant.

Anyway, I'd like to know what ya'lls all-around driving average is? Mine is reading between 13-14mpg( I took a long trip where I measured 19-20mpg at about 80mph). But the thing is just seems to be drinking gas lately...this seem right to ya'll?
