MPG Has Decreased significantly
Strange, my car (07) has nearly the same mileage as yours but my university commute always yields me ~23 or 24 mpg at that speed despite having the less efficient 5AT/VQ35 combo. Plus, I'm stuck with crappy ethanol-mixed 91 octane in CA.
Glad to see cleaning your MAF helped, I might try that out as well.

Yep, whatever % of ethanol is added will pretty much be how much less % mpg you'll get over non ethanol fuel. So if you were getting 30 mpg w/ non Ethanol gas you'll get 27 or less w/ a 10% Ethanol mix.
Also, are you using the dash mpg calculator or going by true mpg after going through actual gas used, it can be a dramatic difference sometimes.

... I was skeptical about doing the cleaning, scared to damage such a sensitive and expensive piece of equipment.. But very easy DIY.. CRC cleaner at Autozone cost me $9.00
