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?

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 22, 2005 10:59 am) 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:

My wife drives the vehicle, she does not drive very fast or aggressively, mostly around town (45-55 mph). We bought a 2005 CR-V EX automatic in June and it has 2K on it right now. The AC is always on as it has been hot here in NC since then. I'm hoping with more break-in miles, less AC usage in the near future, and using Amsoil after the first 5K oil change will help things. I certainly thought it would get better mileage than it has so far. We use Amoco 87 by the way.
