Replying to: stevedebi (Aug 19, 2005 12:44 pm)  I filled up my tank completely and put odometer "A" in zero by the time it was empty "A" read 180.1 miles. Now that's 12.3 gallons I poured into the tank divided by 180.1 and that's 14.64 mpg. Do you think this is a Lemon? The dealership told me in my face today that the CR-V would normally spend 12 to 14 mpg. I am complaining to Honda about this. Alex

Replying to: latino71 (Aug 31, 2005 9:45 am) I get 26 mpg in 95% City driving. I shift at 2500 RPM's, almost never exceed the speed limit (which is 35-45 in my town), and don't race from light to light, but rather time it so that I don't have to stop at every light. This is different from when gas was $1.50, I would have been at the "head of the pack" Now I drive like an old lady. There some old ladies that actually drive faster than I. |

2005 CRV EX AT Tires at 32 psi Odometer under 3,000 Traveled from central Connecticut to central Maine total miles 672 total gas 25.48 avg mpg 26.4 The trip Nawth was in heavy traffic with some construction delays. For this 280 miles, the CRV did 26.6 mpg. Returning home, with much lighter traffic and frequent use of Cruise Control set at approx 65 mph, the CRV did a bit better than 28. Local trips amounting to 100+ miles, the CRV avg 22.24 mpg. Although the town in Maine has only one traffic light and is surrounded by blue highways, the local mileage was only marginally better than I get in Central CT suburban stop and go. Overall I’m getting what Honda promised and may get better with break in. |

6,820 miles, 22.84 avg mpg, 60% city, 40 % hwy. The vehicle is not drive hard and is not driven over 70 on the interstate. Latest trip, 1002 miles, 24.66 mpg, 90% interstate, 10% traveling thru small towns. Best mpg 26.73. Currently 18.37 mpg, 9 mile commute to work with few stops. Exxon, Chevron, Shell, 89 octane. Michelin Destiny tires since 1,236 miles on odometer. Mobile 1, 0-20 synthetic. I have a 99 4Runner SR5 V6 with 77, 710 miles, avg. mpg in similar driving is 19.72 mpg. Latest trip, 1720 miles, 24.92 mpg, 95% interstate, 5% city, dead stop on I-20 for one hour, 102 degrees outside. Best mpg 25.41. Exxon, Chevron, Shell, 89 octane. Michelin LTX tires. Valvoline 5-30 dino. 96 Camry LE 4 cyl, 92,973 miles, EPA 21 city, 27 hwy. 50% 4 mile one way city drive to work, 50% rural roads. 25.26 mpg. Texas to Colorado trip with 7500 miles on odometer, 2047 miles, avg 34.76 mpg with car loaded. Will still do 32+ mpg on rural roads. Exxon, Chevron, Shell, 89 octane. Michelin Destiny tires, Valvoline 10-30 dino. The CRV is the first vehicle I have owned that I have not been able to exceed the EPA ratings. Perhaps the mileage will improve when I hit 10000 to 20000 miles.
