Replying to: fallenangelny (May 06, 2008 6:13 pm) Around town driving we get 20-21MPG. So far our overall avg is around 24-25MPG. We have an early '07 that was assembled in Japan. The other mfgrs, like Nissan and Toyota don't seem to have a problem with their products being built in the USA. I think it has more to do with the assembly process than whose hands are actually doing the work. If the process is detailed enough almost anyone can put together a quality product. |

| 25-26 every day driving. On freeway trips at 70, I'm getting 28-29. At 80 it drops down to 26-27. | |

My 2008 EX-L now has 2100 miles. Mileage around 26mpg every time, 80% highway, trying to hold back speed. No complaints from me, when you can get what sticker says. maybe it will get a little better over time. Oil life still at 90%, should be dropping to 80% any day now. Thats pretty amazing. Love this vehicle. Only wish it had a third row seat option to squeeze a coulpe of extra kids in every now and then.

Replying to: kevman3 (May 09, 2008 5:31 am) Regarding the third row option. When I went to look for a car a couple of months ago, we were looking at the CRV and Rav4. The primarty reason I looked at the Rav4 was the 3rd row option. Well, low and behold, I found out that the 3rd row takes a lot of other stuff out of the car (leather option and all that goes with it, extra storage, etc.). But the biggest problem was that the nearest Rav4 with athe 3rd row installed (it has to be done at the factory) was still on the production line in Japan! It was a 3 month wait for one. Later that day I bought the CRV. |

I am about to either buy an LX 2wd or LX 4wd. I feel like I rarely need the use of 4wd. Is there any noticable difference in gas milage between 2wd and 4wd models with the CR-V? After all, Edmunds review suggets that the 2wd performs quite well in winter any ways. I am not sure I want to pay $1k+ for 4wd especially if I have to sacrifice any gas milage. I have driven 2wd drive cars my whole life in Wisconsin and I have not had any particular problems other than getting stuck once or twice in my drive way. Any thoughts on mpg for 2wd vs 4wd? Tim |

Replying to: tylertj (May 12, 2008 2:02 pm) I'm from the schools of "rather have it and not need it..." and "What if"'...! Someone that can ring every mile from a gallon of gas will likely get 1-2 more MPG from a 2WD. Otherwise, the average driver likely won't realize any difference. Our 03 CR-V with 4wd and outdated 4 speed automatic tranny somehow manages to get the same mileage as the "Best" I've seen posted here on the new 5 speed models, even with 2wd. Generally speaking the 4wd will return most or all of the initial investment at resale time. >"I feel like I rarely need the use of 4wd" I look at 4wd as extra insurance. It just might get one of us out of a jam or even keep us from harm. The 4wd has saved us from some serious aggravation a couple of times. If it is there the few times I NEED it over the life of the car, it is worth it to me. Great deal, especially since most or all of the "premium" is returned at resale.  Kip |
