#1 of 777 Honda CRV Owners: MPG-Real World Numbers by KarenS HOST May 25, 2005 (5:41 am)
This topic is for CR-V owners to report their actual MPG. Please be sure to include the year, automatic or manual, and whether it is FWD or AWD.   "Real World" Fuel Economy vs. EPA Estimates Replies to this message: bob05 (May 29, 2005 7:52 pm) glm3 (Jul 11, 2005 11:50 am) vedoc (Sep 10, 2005 6:58 pm) birdieboy (Sep 13, 2006 7:29 pm) mnf (Sep 13, 2006 7:46 pm) birdieboy (Sep 15, 2006 10:36 am) and 4 more... kipk (Sep 14, 2006 3:59 am) stevedebi (Sep 14, 2006 9:44 am) calvic (Jan 08, 2007 2:15 pm) l454s (Jan 10, 2007 12:04 am) stockman2 (May 04, 2007 7:49 pm) palmhbr (Jan 16, 2008 6:50 am) kipk (Jan 16, 2008 9:08 am) palmhbr (Jan 17, 2008 5:21 am) and 3 more... frank1028 (Mar 22, 2008 6:18 am) kyfdx (Mar 22, 2008 6:31 am) pabbo (Mar 25, 2008 11:55 am)
#2 of 777 1999 EX with a 5MT by varmint May 25, 2005 (8:20 am)
Been tracking MPG since September 1999. Overall average is 25. I'd have to check my chart to see what the highs and lows have been.
#4 of 777 2003 Gen 2 by stevedebi May 25, 2005 (8:33 am)
2003 CR-V EX AT. At 75 Mph, 26-27 MPG on the freeway. At 55-65 on secondary roads at high altitude, I have gotten just under 31 MPG.   Normal in-town is around 22, mixed 23-24.   Note that I drive carefully (but not slowly). If I stomp on the accelerator all the time, I have gotten as low as 18.5 for all city driving. The I4 engine will support rapid starts and acceleration, but you pay the price at the pump.   My mileage got better at around 2000 miles.
#5 of 777 2005 CR-V EX AWD AUTO by fishhead41h May 25, 2005 (5:25 pm)
Just got it, first tankfull was 21.5 mpg,2nd tank went up to 23.6 mpg mostly backroads,very little highway miles seems to be a very good car!!!!
#6 of 777 2005 EX manual by blueiedgod May 26, 2005 (4:47 am)
2005 EX manual. First recorded tank was 22 mpg 95% city driving (BJ's fuel, regular). Second tank was 24 mpg 80% city driving (Mobil fuel, regular). Looking forward to some highway driving to see what the mileage is going to be.   I think it would be a good idea for people to post their mileage and the brand and grade of fuel used. I see greater difference in fuel economy (based on observations in my other cars) from brands than driving style.
#7 of 777 2003 EX AT - Fuel by stevedebi May 27, 2005 (12:06 pm)
Good idea to post the fuel. I use only regular unleaded, Exxon/Mobile, Shell, Texaco, or Chevron. Won't touch the other brands...
#8 of 777 2005 LX Fwd Auto by newhondadad May 27, 2005 (6:38 pm)
On my third recorded tank now, my 05 LX Fwd is at 22.4 mpg. At the previous fill-up it was 21.6 mpg. This is almost all short trips, city driving.
