bad gas mileage in our wagon

My wifes wagon seems to be getting worse gas mileage. She used to average in the low 20s, recently it has gone down to around 20, the last tank was ~19. She is a stay at home mom so I think he driving varies a lot but nowadays mostly city. So it could be her driving but it seems like it is worse then is should be, especially since she drives like a grandma.

Any clue what could be wrong? Airfilter changed semi recently, cars seems to idle/run ok, pumped her tires to 33 for all 4 before her last tank, It is 6 years old with about 80k on it, 5MT.

TIA
Jeff
