Seriously, I can pinpoint on my fuel data when I moved closer to work and when my girlfriend moved in with me and I stopped spending so much time cruising on the freeway so my 'average' fuel economy dropped very similar to yours (28-24) but I am filling my car up half as often so I'm saving money.
I check my MPG each fill and I noticed the change when there was no change in my activities of daily living.
I noticed it after a certain mileage threshold and some body work was done
I'm assuming the major culprit was the bodywork .. but nothing seems off and I've taken the car into a dealer to do a full work up on alignment and everything.
The car's in the shop to get another alignment done at the dealers (somehow Pep boys lost a bolt that's related to the camber ... so in 1 month my driver's front wheel developed huge negative camber causing serious uneven wear - i lost the stock tires because of this ... getting the car back Thursday; hoping Pep boys will refund me and if I'm lucky pay for the alignment as payment for my lost stock rubber lol)
