At my most recent fill up, I had again driven only in the city (results reported above, but I'll recap). I mostly commute 8 miles to and from work every day in the city - not with bad traffic, but not without stoplights and the usual mess. My last tank's mileage was 20.9, and for this tank I got 21.9. I'm really satisfied with these numbers. I use 85 octane, which is what the lowest grade sold here in Denver is. My CR-V has about 1600 miles on it, so it has whatever oil & tires came with it. |

Replying to: theracoon (Sep 11, 2005 4:12 pm) The CR-V doesn't need 89 octane. Save yourself some money and use 87 if it's available. I think you'll find that your Owners Manual says to use a minimum of 86 octane. JM2C My mistake. I run 87 octane in all my vehicles. I had a 93 Camry SE, V6, 5 speed that I ran 89 octane in. I run 32 psi in all vehicle tires. Road noise in the CRV seems to increase with tire pressure. |

05 EX AT 2300 miles Front tires: 34 psi Rear tire: 32 psi Drove 1111 miles (started w/ an empty tank and ended w/ an empty tank), with 650 highway miles and the rest was city miles; with AC on half of the time. Total was 43.9 gallons. The average mileage is 25.3 mpg. |

I have had my CRV for about 2 months and have been monitoring the MPG pretty close. My driving consist of about 60% highway and 40% city. The best I have done is 25.5 mpg the worst has been 22.5. All on 87 octane.

Just drove on a trip (90% highway, 10% city) for 292 miles (mostly level). Temperature in the mid 70s. Filled up at same pump as before. Costco gas. Just over 30 mpg. Fronts at 35 psi, rears at 33 psi. OEM Duelers. Last fill up at 1030 am, this fill up at 1130 am. Anybody know if there is an appreciable difference in shutoff points between pumps at the same station and vs. pumps at a different station? In other words, if you don't fill up at the same pump that you used last time, how much might your mpg calculation be thrown off?

Replying to: northwest1 (Sep 16, 2005 10:28 pm) Yes, that checks with my 2003, which has only the 4 speed transmission. The CR-V does really well at secondary road speeds. Though my 27 MPG at 80 MPG isn't bad either. |

Just wondering if my mileage will get better after I put more miles on it , it only has about five hundred miles now

Replying to: ironhead3 (Sep 21, 2005 3:33 pm) Mine got better at around 3K, but you also need to drive conservatively in town; if you dip into the VTEC, the CR-V mileage plummets.
