Has anyone seen decreases in mpg like this? Should I be worried? Is it the gas I use? Or I guess just hope for warm weather.
5 mpg is noticeable, but for some of us a 20-30+ MPG drop is routine - all due to cold weather (this is with constant block heater use and grille blocking + winter tires).

I suggest, you wait for the warmer weather.
