Slk55 poor mpg or normal?

Recently I did a service on my 55 and noticed my mpg dropped drastically. I used to get 16-18 in the city and as high as 25 on the highway. Now I'm getting as low as 12-13 in the city and barely 21 on the highway.

I changed the air filters, could that have had something to do with it? I replaced the original filter with an OEM one. Fitment and all seemed good and sealed well when I installed it.

So I'm just checking to make sure that there isn't a problem with my car. Thanks in advance!!
