There could be a couple reasons. It's been really windy the last couple weeks. Diesel was switched over to winter blend which will cause a loss of fuel economy.
When's the last time you changed your air filter?4noReason Thanks this. -

Have you ever tested the CAC? You could have either a bad hose or CAC has holes. I'd be looking at the air system from the intake through the to the turbo first before digging into anything else.
