I drive a diesel and have noticed a milage slump. Thought it had to do with the studded snowtires.

More than likely a combination of things. Winter blend diesel is said to contain less energy per gallon over summer blend, reports of between 4%-10% decrease in mpg. Plus you’re probably running it longer to warm it up in the winter.
