Replying to: blueiedgod (Oct 28, 2005 8:58 am) I think it is a door handle, not pocket.   ... except the door handle is right above the bottomless "pocket". I just wonder what the designers had in mind. Granted it's a pretty picayune concern, far outweighed by the very favorable mpg I've been consistently getting..

Replying to: jjd2 (Sep 14, 2005 7:59 am) planning to buy a 2WD LX. Did you noticed an improvement in MPG since you bought the car? Listed is 22-29 MPG....far from real life driving... Replies to this message: tamaraster (Nov 12, 2005 11:33 pm)

Replying to: dan bitman (Nov 11, 2005 11:24 am) I have about 2800 miles on my CR-V (EX AWD), and it's been pretty consistent. I get about 21/22 mpg in city driving. It's hard for me to give a figure for highway driving, since I've done so little, and what I did was in the mountains, but it looks like about 25-28 mpg based on my records.

First tank, mixed driving, 60% Highway/40% Suburbs - 25mpg.
#74 of 786 2002 CR-v EX Automatic by rrrrb Dec 13, 2005 (7:17 am)
I have a 2002 CR-v EX with Automatic and 64k miles. I have taken several trips from Dallas to Colorado Springs, and on these trips, have averaged 28-33 mpg with A/C on. Around Dallas, I average 19-23 mpg with A/C.   Over the years, my milage has gone down. I think it may have to do with the new tires that I put on the vehicle, the Goodyear TripleTred. Great tires for traction, but noisy. Replies to this message: af1023 (Jan 14, 2006 8:38 pm)
#75 of 786 2005 CRV EX Auto 16 mpg Why? by tc4all Dec 25, 2005 (10:46 am)
I was getting about 20 mpg. I do 95% city driving with lots of lights. I have used Goodyear Triple Treads since the first week. (Very hard ride but good traction) I recently changed to Mobile 1 synthetic of the right value and a top Purotator (As I remember) filter. At the same time, the change to part Ethanol gas and cold weather hit NJ. Plus my battery was defective and replaced. My mileage has dropped from 20, down to about 16 mpg. Does this make sense or could I have a problem? I don't carry much cargo or people as a rule. Tires are inflated properly. I am at a loss.

Replying to: theracoon (Dec 25, 2005 1:22 pm) Thanks for the response. I just don't remember it being that big a difference on my past cars. The last was a Camry 6 cyl. I spoke to a former Exxon chemist who thought the 4 mpg difference was a little too much to be just the fuel, but that was just his guess. I remember about 2 mpg loss on past cars, but if it is 4 mpg now with the CRV, I guess I just have to live with it. I have to wonder if the air stays cleaner burning normal gas and getting 20 mpg or burning the Ethanol mixture and getting only 16 mpg over the same 2000 or 3000 miles. Can using the heater or a different oil filter have any effect? Replies to this message: blueiedgod (Dec 28, 2005 5:13 am)

Can using the heater or a different oil filter have any effect?   It is more likely that 2 mpg came from ethanol and the other 2 mpg from MTBE used in winter gas. Also the grade of oil will make a difference.   I usually do my own changes with Mobil 1 0W-20, but I had a freebie from the dealer, and went with their change. Supposedly they used 5W-20, and my mileage went from 30 mpg highway (summer) to 25 highway (winter). Combination of winter gas and non-synth oil are probably contributing to my MPG descrease. I will change out to Mobil 1 after 3000 miles on the dyno oil.
