Sudden MPG drop, no change in driving habits or gas

You should be getting about 29-31 MPG overall with this car. If it was just one 27 MPG tank, then I would chalk it up to an anomaly, and it would still in the ballpark. But 24 MPG is a bit low. As the others have mentioned the methodology used in determining fuel mileage may be a factor here. Has anyone else been driving the car?
