Default Anyone else getting less mpg?

Coming up on a year in September that we got our Fiesta.

When we first bought it, I was averaging about 37.8 mpg. Now it seems like I've been averaging about 32. Has anyone else noticed an increase in consumption?

I've not changed the way I drive and have been keeping around the same speeds, so not sure why I'm experiencing such a drastic drop. Dealership told me at the beginning of winter that they put an additive in the fuel and everyone experiences a drop in mpg, but it's July...

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I'm getting only 22 mpg in town. I keep resetting the mileage computer and it doesn't get any better. First tank was only about 28 mpg for combined mileage.

I average 27-31 mpg, mostly due to a less-than-optimal commute and a heavier-than-normal foot.

Don't feel too bad. Just think if under the same driving conditions you had any other car than the Fiesta. I'm getting about 26 to 30 lately.

I don't feel bad at all... my Malibu was rated ~10mpg less than the Fiesta, and my averages in the Fiesta line up to be ~10mpg better than what I saw in the Malibu.

I usually get around 41-42mpg with nothing on the roof and no a/c use. This is mostly highway driving with a manual transmission.

Either racks + boat on the roof or a/c use brings it down to about 37mpg.

I get 29mpg max in the city! I do have a right shoe made of bricks though...

I haven't managed to get any highway milage in a long time, so it's dragging my overall average down...

I have the pleasure of driving on city streets almost 100% of the time. Currently my avg mpg indicator in my Fiesta reads 29.8 mpg. My Fuelly.com account however has me at 28.2 mpg's. Honestly though, I can't complain. My old car got 14 mpg

Here's my Fuelly page...
