That's an odd thing to happen for sure. The only possibility I can think of is that your shift points were reset in your software. I might be wrong but through driving it normal, it will return soon. If not, have it checked.

I don't know if your actual fuel economy dropped or the average but with all newer cars you really need to use a memory saver when changing out batteries.
