Very suspicious fuel economy dip over 5mpg

I've got 55k on my 06 Coupe and routinely checked my tank mileage. Always hovered around 21mpg in mixed driving. Now the last few tanks have me a little afraid, 15.1 and 15.5mpg in similar mixed driving. I don't notice any drivable difference, air filter is fine, no codes, etc. Tires all properly inflated. May be a touch of extra fuel smell from exhaust, but not sure. It's always been relatively intense on both my Nissans. Ideas?

15mpg sounds like the average. I use to get 19mpg when the car was new.

But would it happen over the course of 2-3 tanks of gas? Wasn't a gradual decline

Maybe that's what I need to help out my mpg, twin turbo. I was totally off base That would be awesome, but I'd likely get 9mpg then.
