Nope.
I keep meticulous vehicle records, down to and including if I added extra weight, drove differently than normal (more city driving, typical with car shows) or had to deal with excessive wind/rain/weather. My fuel economy (across 4 vehicles) is within the norm as tracked since the beginning of ownership (17 years for the longest owned).
BTW, no reason not to track. Having good records, even if they aren't 100% accurate in regards to miles per gallon, is a good way to pick up on when there's an issue. Or, in the case of my older vehicles with valves that needs adjustment, points and carbs... when a tuneup is needed.
FWIW, I'm in the south east.
