Bad gas mileage - Help

Hey everyone, I'm new here and this is my first post. I have a 2022 Kia Rio with the technology package. And I'm having bad gas mileage compared to the first month I've had it. The first month I was getting an average of 32-35 mpg, now I'm getting 22-27 avg. My driving has stayed the same, in fact I think I baby it more to see if I can save gas or get better gas mileage. The only thing I did purchase was a new K&N drop in OEM replacement filter.

I am thinking of replacing the filter back to the original and see if it helps. But I would like to stick with the KN filter for better air flow.

Is there a calibration or something I need to reset after I install the filter?

Does Anyone else have an issue like this, or had?

What was your fix?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Unless you are in truly awful stoplight-to-stoplight traffic, it shouldn't be as low as you're getting, especially with the CVT. According to the onboard computer, I got about 30 MPG on my city commute in DC, and that's on a 2019 with the old 6-speed automatic. My partner, however, only gets about 23 MPG on his shorter city commute, so it's not impossible! :)
