Not sure what forum to post in but does anyone know if Honda plans to make a hybrid CRV? Replies to this message: steve_ (Mar 25, 2008 11:57 am)

Replying to: pabbo (Mar 25, 2008 11:53 am) The Future Hybrids Which Model Will Be Next? discussion would be one place to ask.   And check out the MPG Ratings Will Drop Under EPA Proposal discussion for EPA info.

Replying to: acarperson (Mar 09, 2008 10:43 am) I'm lucky if I get 24 on the highway. Usually get 18-20 in town driving - lots of stop and go. But, only have 1000 miles, and the roads are far from smooth around here so I'm hoping the numbers improve over time.   2008 EXL Navi CRV Black on Black Replies to this message: rsm333 (Mar 28, 2008 10:26 am)

Replying to: natenj1971 (Mar 27, 2008 7:05 pm) My 2007 EX-L 2WD (16K miles), typically averages 28mpg on the 252 mile trip from Humboldt County to San Francisco. This first 150 miles is mountainous, and my mileage is in the 26mpg range. Once out of the mountains, it’s getting 30+… this is at 70 mph. In local driving (there is no city driving here) I get 24-25.
#680 of 792 Test drive MPG by cravenfan Mar 29, 2008 (4:36 pm)
I tested a CRV a week or so ago, reset the mpg and drove home, 1/2 highway, 1/2 back roads, a few lights and stop signs and got about 24.5mpg. Picking a new one up tomorrow, so I'll check it out over the next few weeks.

Replying to: stevedebi (Feb 29, 2008 11:25 am) In making the decision on buying a diesel vs gasoline powered vehicle one must consider not only the price of the diesel fuel but also the higher fuel milage the diesel will get. For the most part diesel is about 20 to 25% higher then regular gasoline currently (21 April 2008). But if the diesel provides 30 to 40% increase in MPG then the diesel is the way to go.   If the gas CR-V is getting 27 MPG on the highway (which it might) then it is reasonable to expect the diesel to get about 37 MPG (the MD E320 diesel is rates at and gets for real 37MPG). That is a 37% increase in MPG with the diesel only costing about 20 to 25% more.

Replying to: holew (Apr 21, 2008 11:50 am) That's very true, but a lot of us who remember the 70's can't forget what happened. As gas prices rose, diesel fuel was about half as much as regular gasoline. Car makers started producing diesel engine cars more and more to capitalize on the increasing market. All of a sudden, diesel pulled even with gas prices and then went higher....don't know why, maybe due to the increased demand, supply fell and prices went up or maybe retailers saw a way to make a profit. Either way the result was that you couldn't give away a diesel car. My buddy had a mid 80's VW diesel Rabbit and he wanted to get rid of it in 1990 and called "car cash" and the guy on the other end of the phone, in his best Brooklyn accent said "it's woitless" (worthless).   Not saying that's going to happen here, but a lot of us have been bitten before.

Replying to: bobby12 (Feb 08, 2008 10:10 pm) Hi, I am glad I read your message. I totally support you in getting terrible mileage. I get 13-14mpg in the city. That is my usual mpg that drives me crazy. I took my CRV SE 2005 to several dealerships and they said that is nothing wrong with my car, they just didn't care about this problem. I have seen several people having SE model having problems with MPG as well. Thanks, Peter
