Thanks for all the replies guys.

"When you say you're doing mostly city driving now, is it very very short?" - Yup. Usually about 3km there, another 3km back at the end of the day

"Have you changed your driving style over the lest few months?" - Not that I can think of. I actually make a game of it to see how high I can get the milage, so I'm very concious of how hard I accelerate and try to avoid braking as much as possible.

"Have you changed the air filter? What's your tire pressure?" - Haven't checked the air filter, but I did check the tire pressure and it seems to be fine. I'll check the air filter tonight.

"Have you had the OBD-II system checked for error codes?" - Not even sure what that is :)

When I brought it to the dealership they said they hooked up a computer to look at my fuel economy then took it out to an 80km/h road. I'm not sure of all the circumstances under which they drove it but they said that it was getting 27mpg and that was just fine.
