gas mileage gone

Dealer replaced the head under warranty, and now the gas mileage has totally taken a hit. Dropped from 34 hwy to about 28.

Any thoughts?

Just to make sure you're comparing apples to apples, have you been running A/C lately where you weren't before? Are you cruising at the same speed?

Are you measuring at the gas pump, or just looking at the displayed average on the dash? It can be deceptive if it has been reset recently.

Best way to calculate AVG mpg is by miles driven/gallon tank.
