Bigger than normal MPG drop?

Has anyone else noticed a bigger than normal hit to mpg? I typically get around 24 in winter and now I'm getting about 22. I normally wouldn't be concerned but i have 6, soon to be 7 consecutive tanks below average. My route doesn't change, 56 miles straight highway with no traffic except the last 5 miles.

I got a new battery and set of tires right before the decrease, 3k miles ago. One half of the engine injects about 10% more fuel than the other, but it has been that way since i got the car.

Anybody else seeing lower than normal fe?


Edit: looking back at '14/15 i see that my mileage is in line... perhaps last year was more mild than i thought. But this year has been rather mild also... idk.
