2024 Mitsubishi Outlander — hybrid fuel economy dropped with no warning light — trying to narrow this down

2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV SEL, about 26,500 miles. Same commute and driver, but average MPG is down noticeably. Tires are properly inflated. What hybrid-specific data would you inspect before blaming the high-voltage battery?

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander in Los Angeles, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. Then you'll know the next fork. On “hybrid fuel economy dropped with no warning,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander in Los Angeles with 26,500 miles. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. That's my plan before I call anyone.

I parked the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. Then you'll know the next fork. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander before a big repair or a big spend. Then you'll know the next fork. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. Doing the boring step first on purpose.
