Drop in gas mileage and power. Wondering why. V70-XC70 1998

Recently, the power seems to have waned on my '98 V70 AWD (light-pressure turbo). Also, I took a trip yesterday on which I normally get about 24 mpg, but this time the car got about 21. Passing power/acceleration seems a little sluggish. The car has 201,500 miles on it. It was rainy and humid on yesterday's trip. I am wondering whether, with a car this old, I should just expect a decrease in power and mileage or if there is something I should do to restore her to her former glorious, energetic self.

Thanks
