2009 335i gas mileage issue

Took my 2009 335i in for service a couple weeks ago. After the service I notice my gas mileage drop from a 19.8 average to high 13's to 14.6 mpg. I'm taking the car back to the dealer for a proper diagnosis. I don't have the long start problem associated with the high pressure fuel pump. Driving habits haven't changed either.

Any ideas why the gas mileage would drop so significantly?
