I am not happy about it, but blame it on a number of things:
1) Cold weather temps
2) Winter blend fuels
3) Removal of MTBE as an acceptable fuel additive
4) Increasing use of Ethanol in fuels (E10 has always yielded a 10% mileage reduction in my car)
5) Recently switched to parking outdoors at home
6) No longer have a parking deck at work which helped with temps a little
My mileage has dropped from around 30mpg to around 25mpg on the same daily commute. At over $3 per gallon of mid-grade, this hurts!
