'08 Tacoma Fuel MPG?

I have a '08 SR5 4x4 Sport Tacoma Crew Cab Long bed. Only 5000 miles so far but I'm curious if anyone could help me out on something? Up until my first oil change I was getting at worst 19.2 mpg all around per tank. On the interstate about 22.5 mpg. After I got my first oil change my mpg has never been the same? 18.2, 18.0, 17.2 etc. My last tank was 16.9 mpg. Driving habits haven't changed. I have run the 4 wheel drive just a slight bit more...were talking no more than 2 miles. The temps. here in WI have dropped but some of the initial lower mileage tank fulls it was still plenty warm? I spoke with the dealer to see what oil came from factory vs. what they use. They use Mobil 1 oil (sounded as though is was a blend?) and were unsure what came in the vehicle? Anyone have any thoughts or similar experiences? I have used the same gas throughout...BP 87 Oct. Curious...any thoughts would be great! Thanks
