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. | |

wife's '98 2L 4s auto awd gets 25 hwy consistently, any regular 87O unleaded. loves Mobil 1 full synthetic 0w20, improved performance, smoother running, faster accel. also loves the Bosch 4 platinum plugs, noticible improvement in performance over NGK and NipponDenso. long life 100k plugs. noticeable acceleration improvement and hill climbing after breakin around 5 to 10k. |

 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! |

Replying to: latino71 (Aug 18, 2005 3:46 pm) How can you divide Dollars by Miles and get miles per gallon??????? What you have is 16.7 cents per mile. To get miles per gallon you need to divide miles driven by gallons used. The simplest way is to: 1) Wait until your first tank is empty, or until the light comes on. 2) Go to the station that you know you will be able to return to for the consecutive fill up. 3) Fill up until the auto shut off clicks. DO NOT TOP OFF. 4) Reset the trip odometer. 5) Drive as you normaly do. 6) When the gas light is on, return to the SAME STATION, SAME PUMP, SAME TIME OF DAY, preferrably SAME WEATHER CONDITONS. 7) Fill up, until the automatic shut off clicks. DO NOT TOP OFF. 8) Take the miles driven on the trip odometer and divide by the GASOLINE VOLUME (not price). e.g. Trip odometer says 280 miles, it took 11 gallons to fill. 280/11=25.5 miles per gallon or mpg. 9) Reset the trip odometer and repeat procedure 5 or more times. 10) AVERAGE the 5 or more fill ups. |

[I posted this on the SUV mileage thread too; sorry for the duplication] Well, I just got my 6th fill-up or so. This tank was completely city-driving - I did not set foot (er, tire) on a road with a speed limit above 35 the entire tank. I got 20.9 mpg (on the lowest grade of fuel), which is about the same as my VW Passat Wagon (4-cyl turbo) got, for a car with a lot more pep and space. The previous tank was mostly Rocky Mt highway driving, and I got 25.1 mpg. The previous tank, which was all Rocky Mt highways (including a lot of driving through Rocky Mt National Park), I got 28 mpg. Altogether, I've gotten 24.2 mpg to date. I haven't tried mid-grade fuel yet, which is what's recommended in the owner's manual. |

Replying to: tamaraster (Aug 19, 2005 2:37 pm) That's odd. The Honda website lists "regular unleaded" as the correct grade of fuel for the 2005 CR-V. |
