yes for sure if you floor it at every stop and never release your foot from the throttle you will have a very bad mpg. If you do just city driving it will be very bad too. Take it to the highway, respect the speed limits and you'll see a big improvement

Everyone would get lower mpg from driving aggressively vs driving conservatively. How low are you talking?

I can get 40+ mpg on my non-Si tuned turbo if I drive like granny with light traffic and mostly highway. When I drive it hard I often see something like 24 mpg. All perfectly normal. Our car's are capable of great mileage but a lot of it is controlled by your right foot.

Whoa! Are you treating every traffic light like a tree light?

You must be really going hard on it. I have been averaging about 34 mpg highway/City driving semi hard. The more boost you use, the more your mpg's will suffer

Try taking is a bit easier for a week or so and see what the mileage is like. If it's still pretty poor, then I'd take it in.

I use a Google Sheet with formulas that divide miles driven to gallons to fill. I find the onboard comp to be within .62 miles of accuracy. Meaning my calculations come to 29.64 my onboard will be 29.02. Sometimes it's a little more, but usually on par. My dad has done this for years before onboard comps, to make sure his engine was running well. It also help me compare my driving styles, price per gallon of fuel, etc. Maybe anal, but it's good to refer to and see difference in MPG when I do drive highway which isn't as often.

Also, I seems like my mileage is getting better as I get more miles from new on the car.

My mileage is usually between 31-36 MPG.
I took my car to a 350 miles trip in December and to my disappointment, the mileage was about 36mpg. I was driving at 60-65 mph and I was hoping for 40mph.

In my case, going to Las Vegas, which is 250 miles one way, wind makes a huge difference. About 4-5 MPG on previous cars since I haven't taken my Si there yet. Wind is the desert is common.

I found my mileage does not differ significantly how I drive the car, agreeively or not.
