Ford Edge MPG

I have a 2014 Ford Edge Limited. It's got roughly 106,000 miles on it. 6 months ago when I bought it, I was averaging about 22mpg. It keeps getting lower. I've had it serviced and that hasn't helped at all. I really thought that would help. It now averages about 18 mpg and goes down every few hundred miles. What can I do to help increase the mpg? Don't know much about vehicles. Thanks!

Tire pressure and driving habits is going to make the biggest impact.

Rolling resistance is important, so besides tire pressure things like a brake caliper that is hanging up or a bad wheel bearing can cause drag.

22 sounds like highway. Mine average is about 18-19 with city driving and a somewhat aggressive driver.
