Short trips like that will totally kill your FE as the engine never warms up and runs rich the entire time. This doesn't explain why your FE dropped, though. Was your commute (or any other usual driving) a longer distance before?

On a different note, with a commute that short have you considered bicycling it rather than driving it?
