    The drop in mpg is really not that much. You did not even go down one whole mpg. It probably just has something to do with road/weather conditions or the way you have been driving lately. If you leave eco mode on, your mileage should improve. In city driving, the engine will idle at a lower rpm when you are stopped. The transmission also upshifts sooner when accelerating to keep rpm low. You might see a 2-5 mpg increase if you use eco mode all the time, depending on how you drive and what the road and weather conditions are.
