Replying to: kjr2487 (Mar 08, 2008 9:14 pm) Note: on my one significant highway drive so far, I averaged 27mpg, which equals the EPA 2008 mpg rating for highway driving. Any thoughts?

Replying to: dpp8f (Jun 02, 2008 3:16 pm) That seems REALLY low. A couple of things I did on my 2003, which went from 18 to 21 MPG in the city. I inflated the tires to 35 PSI. I discovered that I got better MPG by doing a brisk acceleration up to about 35 MPH, and then easing off. Doing a "granny-style" very slow acceleration actually used more fuel, because the car is more efficient at higher speeds, so the sooner you get there (at reasonable acceleration), the better. And the longer you stay at speed, the better (see below). Plan your routes to avoid traffic and stop lights / signs. Don't accelerate to a stop - do what you can to keep the vehicle moving, by timing lights where possible, and slowing early when you know you won't make the light. |

| I am really getting hammered buying gas lately. Getting around 25MPG consistantly on my 2008 EX-L, 80% highway. Otherwise love the car, but if they come out with a hybrid CRV, I am going to check it out. Spending over 100. a week on gas, my car alone. Don't even want to talk about my wife's Pilot! | |

Replying to: snagy1 (Jun 04, 2008 3:53 am) I am not complaining, thought that what this site was for, to discuss this vehicle. Everyone knows going slower gets better mileage. Car does not need a scan gage, computer tells you what your getting as you drive. |

I live in an area with no snow, but the 4wd should provide additional safety on rainy days. Two friends told me to get the 4wd drive without a doubt because that is the reason for getting a crossover...to use your car's FULL potential. In addition, think of the resale value. If you plan to keep this car for more then 5 + years, get a vehicle that will keep you happy for a long time.
