Colder weather won't help. How many miles do you have on your car? Might be time for a full tune up. Change your oil. More info helps

Same thing was happening to me too but after I changed my oil and did the usual maintenance, I'm getting good gas mileage again.

Its got 68,680K miles. Everything is stock besides an ebay intake (changing out soon). The 2 hoses that connect to the intake are not connected to the intake due to making a custom-ish intake, but it will be connected again once i get a new intake on it, could that be some of the cause?

yeah sounds like you should change the fuel filter, that will cut down your mpg.
