Hybrid MPG suddenly down with no warning lights

TowDriver90Community StarterJun 9, 20262022 Ford Maverick XLT HybridRaleigh
2022 Ford Maverick XLT Hybrid, about 96,000 miles. Same commute, same driver, but average MPG dropped pretty sharply over the last month. Tire pressure is good. What hybrid-specific things are worth checking before assuming the battery is getting weak?

I parked the 2022 Ford Maverick and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

Same neighborhood, different next step: On the 2022 Ford Maverick in Raleigh, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. Then you'll know the next fork. On “hybrid mpg suddenly down with no warning,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Write the result down so the next test isn't a repeat of the last one. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2022 Ford Maverick owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. I'd do that before spending real money. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

This is from a 2022 Ford Maverick in Raleigh with 96,000 miles. Write the result down so the next test isn't a repeat of the last one. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2022 Ford Maverick, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. Have you gotten a second quote in writing? I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.
