I bought a used 2003 EX about 2 months ago with 53,000 miles. Here in East Texas, we run the A/C pretty much all the time May-September. With about 50/50 city and highway miles we average 18-19mpg. Our best so far is 22mpg on an all-highway trip, running the A/C. I called the dealership, asking if this kind of mileage was typical. He said it was because we run the A/C a lot, and that it should get better in the Fall. I know that A/C affects fuel economy, but I'm getting 4-5 mpg less that I should. Has anyone else had this experience?

2005 CR-V EX auto with factory roof rack -- avg 21.8 mpg for the first 1000 miles. Used Shell 87. The missus likes to run the AC full bore anytime the temp is above 85, which it has been quite a bit here in the Northeast. Most of the driving has been suburban stop and go, with some city and a fair amount of blue highways. We expect to take a trip to Maine soon, and I'm looking forward to seeing what I get with 300 interstate highway miles. But so far, I'm getting pretty much what Honda promised. |

Replying to: mhildebrant (Jul 25, 2005 6:47 pm) Is this your first SUV? You need to remember that it's heavier than a sedan and is not going to accelerate as quickly. If you try to "push" it to accelerate like a sedan, your mileage will be poor. JM2C |

| With a 05 CR-V SE at about 2600 miles, apparently running the A/C makes more of a difference than I thought, but still pretty good MPG. On highway commute with some stop & go and A/C all the time its 23.5 MPG. With no or very little A/C is 26.5. So far I avoid flooring it, even when merging. And always put the mid fuel - Plus 90. | |

 The dealership handed me my CRV with an almost full tank and 15 miles in the tach. Currently the tachometer reads 455 miles and I have put $48.00 in gas. Drive 60/40 since I do many errands around my way and don’t like to speed. So let do the math Figure the dealer put $28 to fill up plus my $48 that’s $76. Divide $76 into 455 that 0.167 or 16.7mpg! Is this correct?

When you do this, keep the receipt and write down how many miles are on the trip meter. 4. Then, your mpg will be equal to the number of miles you wrote down from the trip meter divided by the number of gallons your receipt says you put in. I hope this helps! |
