I would guess that your mileage would drop as the P/Cs lose sealing, 
but that's only a guess.  If you have carbs, they won't respond to 
the rise in engine temp as the piston blowby increases, there will 
just be a slow loss of HP as the engine efficiency goes down.  Your 
city mileages sound a tad low, but your trip mileages are a bit high 
(i'd be concerned about overheating from running a bit lean), but my 
guess is that you must have carbs, so I really don't have much 
experience to compare with here.
