Replying to: daryll44 (Oct 28, 2006 1:58 am) I can see it now the people with nothing to do will be saying looking at the meter will be like talking on a cell phone. By 2008 there will be a switch   ....MNF Replies to this message: terry92270 (Nov 01, 2006 3:32 pm)

Replying to: daryll44 (Oct 28, 2006 1:58 am) I wish there was. The constant dancing bar graph is too distracting and also the odometer reading belongs on the speedometer There is no need to show trip a or b and your total driven mileage in smaller numbers at the same time.

I put around 900 miles on our brand new CRV. Made two round trips to Kernville from L.A. area (about 220 miles one way). 1st trip: on the way up (elevation gain of 3000') we got 27MPG, back got 29 MPG. 2nd trip: up, got 29MPG, back got 31MPG. The 1st trip there was a lot of stop and go traffic going both directions. 2nd trip had hardly any traffic. When no traffic our speed ranged from 60-80MPH. Not too bad for a brand new SUV.

#267 of 786 2007 CRV just bought and took a short road trip by al63017 Nov 14, 2006 (8:06 am)
My CRV has 350 miles on it and went on a 100 mile trip Saturday mostly Interstate and reset the mpg indicator at the start of the trip. Was up around 28 to 29 mpg for most of the trip (never drove over 70) dropped back a bit obviously on the steep hills and the few stop and go situations. It looks like a rest stop to rest stop type trip will be above the 30 that they advertise and this has so few miles. Also around my city mpg has not dropped below 24 yet which is a 60/40 with 60 percent being 40 miles and hour or better with few stops. I like this so much better than my prior CRV. Had a RAV 4, Highlander and Pilot in between. I like the size, peppy enough for me, interior and exterior styling (doesn't look like a cracker box with wheels any more) and all the added safety features. It is much quieter that my prior CRV. Gas mileage is going to be great. It is amazing how your mileage may vary depending on how you drive. I also have an Acura TSX and I notice I am always the first one away from a stop light and about 1/2 block ahead of everybody else without even really being aware of it. Now with the Honda I just drive with the traffic and am sure that has helped the gas mileage.   It also has a little lower profile and look which I think makes it more appealing to me anyway. These things are all my opinion as cars are so personal but at least hope this perspective helps. Paid 500.00 under sticker but got an amazing amount for my trade which made me jump on the deal before they changed their mind, ha, ha... Ever see anybody say they bought a car and got a bad deal. The logic I use to buy a car is my logic and that is all that matters.   I then checked the mileage by the gallons I added from delivery when tank was filled by dealer and calculator showed almost 25 so that had 200 miles roughly of mixed driving of the 350 before I filled up again. Your mileage can vary by 10 miles per gallon depending on jack rabbit starts from stop lights and signs etc. It has taken some adjusting on my part as when in the TSX it just seems to be so easy to zoom away but I get about 24mpg avg on that car even driving silly and since I don't have that many stops signs to deal with it does not hurt my mpg that much. I have seen over 34mpg on Interstate with the TSX. It is amazing on the highway but drops off a bunch in the city I am sure because of my driving style.

#268 of 786 Re: 2007 EXL MPG [redfish5] by redfish5 Nov 14, 2006 (2:13 pm)
Replying to: redfish5 (Oct 27, 2006 8:09 am) I have had my 2007 EXL AWD in Whistler Silver Metallic for 9 days. It is hands down a great vehicle for today's type of driving. First tank got 24.5 mpg (60% hiway,40% city). Second tank (just filled up) 25.7 mpg..... sweet !!!!!!!!!   Followup, with 1200 miles on the vehicle, latest MPG was 28.6 p.s the "dancing bars" DO make you a better, more fuel-efficient driver....anyone not interested in that should go ahead and fill up $$$$$$ and look the other way.............
