Default Exhaust

I have talked about it before but looking for opinions, I made a 5" straight pipe and ran it for a while. I then checked my fuel mileage and was getting about 13 miles a gallon. A whole lot less than the 19-20 I get with the stock exhaust on it. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen or if maybe I fudged my numbers?
