Very common, the winter mix used in your gas is of different chemical composition resulting in less mpg.

I have been getting horrible gas mileage lately when I first got my truck it got 330 mi from a tank or about 15 mpg this tank I'm going to get under 250 or around 11-11.5 mpg's. My driving habits haven't changed and I even added a Volant CAI. I guess its from cold and letting my truck run in the morning. I'm ready for it to warm up!!!
