My S is my daily car, most of my trips is fairly short, about 4.7-4.8 miles each way to and from work on city streets. I usually get about 19-21 mpg, I never had more than 22 mpg or less than 18 mpg for any tank. The tire pressure is almost alway at 33-34 psi. I alway buy highest octane gas at Chevron or Shell stations. Yes, there are many oxygenate additives in California fuel and this may be the reason that we get worse gas mileage than other states.
