Replying to: tc4all (Dec 25, 2005 4:28 pm) 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. |

I noticed that till I hit the 5000 miles mark my CRV drove a bit heavy with some kind of resistance. The pickup was very poor.. I would be afraid to make quick lane changes in a crowded quick stop and go freeway. But now it seems to be responding a lot better and feels more lighter to drive. I always use Mobile 87 grade and tire pressure is usually 34psi. Till date I was pretty frustrated with the mpg but it seems to have improved now. Seems to have improved from 21/22mpg to 24 mpg till date for city traffic.

Hi I'm looking  Toyota, thinking Matrix, Corolla, or Prius, mostly to save on gas $$ and have a reliable car. From what I'm reading here, Matrix doesn't sound like a good bet on either count. I'm looking at a loaded 2006 XR Automatic. Comments/insights are much appreciated! Thanks

I am just at about 1500 miles on my 2006 CR-V EX with the manual transmission. Thought I would share my gas mileage with the board. I keep a log for all my vehicles where I note the date, mileage, gals and cost of fuel and also for maintenance work. My numbers are thus pretty exact. Most of my driving is mixed about 70% interstate and 30% around town. I bought the vehicle 300 miles away so the first tank was just about all hwy, since then the mix has been about 70/30. MPG per fill up 22.7 24.0 22.9 24.5 23.4 25.0 Overall average 23.98 1221 miles, 50.9 gals used since first full tank. I'm pretty happy with the mileage thus far, and I am really happy to not be using premium, which was required for my Audi. Ouch. I'm hoping that it picks up a bit as the car is broken in, but even if I only average 24 I figure I'm doing pretty well. My Audi averaged about 28-30 MPG on the highway, but using the premium was killing me. I am very happy with my new CR-V. TB
