Replying to: roma007 (Jan 05, 2007 9:25 am) Moving the car from a "stand still" requires more fuel than is required once under way. Heavy city driving is a real MPG killer. You mileage should improve some as the engine loosens up, but may not reach the EPA estimates.  Kip

Replying to: kipk (Jan 06, 2007 3:37 am) I got 2007 CR-V EX 2WD about 2 mo ago Trying to drive very economically according to all advises from http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/FEG2007.pdf https://www.fueleconomy.gov/mpg/MPG.do?action=mpgData&vehicleID=22401&browser=tr- - - ue&details=on I have 1200 miles already but but my MPGs are very low in city 12-13MPG versus 23 advertised (never seen anything higher then 16) on highway it is 24 (versus 30) In that booklet it said real world MPG are different from sticker numbers by 10% less in city and 22% less - on highway I do not know what is going on .... I have 3 considerations 1. may be they forgot to do IDL TRAINING ( I can do it myself) 2. Some people say car has to breake in but I think it will not affect my MPGs dramatically 3. May be I just need to check my car at dealership... People! what do you think about my problem? thank you in advance

Replying to: russianmafia (Jan 08, 2007 1:06 pm) in city 12-13MPG versus 23 advertised (never seen anything higher then 16) on highway it is 24 (versus 30) In that booklet it said real world MPG are different from sticker numbers by 10% less in city and 22% less - on highway I do not know what is going on .... I have 3 considerations 1. may be they forgot to do IDL TRAINING ( I can do it myself) 2. Some people say car has to breake in but I think it will not affect my MPGs dramatically 3. May be I just need to check my car at dealership... Actually, the EPA numbers are estimates made by the US government, not by Honda. And they are Estimateas, not advertisements. You may want to look into your driving habits, or the choice of fuels. Rapid and frequent acceleration will result in lower mpg's. See if the parking brake, or any of the brakes are stuck. Put the car in neutral on flat surface and push. You should be able to push it fairly easy. Gasolines which contain Ethanol will lower your mpg. A fuel contaning 10% Ethanol (very common) wil result in almost 10% drop in MPG's. In your case you have a 30% drop. Which leads me to believe that it is a combination of things. If you live in or around NYC, that is not really city driving, it is WORSE than city. I get 26 mpg in city driving, but I drive stick, which is superiorly fuel efficient, especiially in city driving. Granted, I have a 2005 Model, but the engine and tranny are the same as 2007 model. Good luck. Hey, Russians always say there is no Russian Mafia, lol. Poka.

Replying to: blueiedgod (Jan 09, 2007 5:43 am) yes...probably it is true I have a combination. I think it is combination of "bad adjustment" + car has not been "broken in" yet i think my driving is OK because I was aware of how to drive economically, I use recommended normal (87) gas from 76 company and I live around Los Angeles (traffic is not as bad as in NY) I have decided first to take it to the dealership to eliminate any possible calculation/observing mistakes spasibo za otvet
