Reduced Focus fuel economy
I run a 2009 Ford Focus 1.6TDCi Zetec which I have had since April 2011. I have consistently managed 54-55mpg. However since the car had a major service in November 2011 the average fuel economy has dropped to 50-51mpg. My driving style has remained unchanged as has the type of road journeys undertaken.
Is there anything undertaken as part of a service which may have affected the car's fuel economy, or could something else be affecting fuel economy such as the cooler winter weather?

That's because it's now colder.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
