#52 of 786 2005 CVR LX MPG by jjd2 Sep 14, 2005 (7:59 am)
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. Replies to this message: dan bitman (Nov 11, 2005 11:24 am) tamaraster (Nov 12, 2005 11:33 pm)
#53 of 786 2005 CRV EX Automatic mpg by northwest1 Sep 14, 2005 (10:12 am)
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: stevedebi (Sep 16, 2005 8:37 am) Yes, speed no more than 65 mph, no A/C, no cruise control. Replies to this message: stevedebi (Sep 19, 2005 10:45 am)

Replying to: northwest1 (Sep 16, 2005 10:28 pm) "Yes, speed no more than 65 mph, no A/C, no cruise control." 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.

I hope it gets a little better after it gets a few more miles on it" Unfortunately, that is the worst cycle for all conventional (non hybrid) vehicles. You will probably max out at 21-23 MPG, but I'm not sure what the 2005 (with it's 5 speed transmission) is capable of. My tips: Accelerate firmly, not gently or hard. Keep the RPMs below 2500. When you hit 2500 RPM, let off on the accelerator to let the transmission shift. The idea is to get into high gear as soon as possible, and stay in high gear Try and avoid stopping and accelerating by watching the traffic and the traffic lights Plan your route to avoid slowdowns, traffic, and lights Time the traffic lights if you can, accelerating or slowing so as to make the green. I see many people (daily) accelerating hard just to get to that next red light. Replies to this message: ironhead3 (Sep 22, 2005 12:54 pm)
