First 1500 miles by tcasboy

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.

Owner manual says to keep tires at 29 psi. Why do you use 34 psi? Seems to me it would be dangerous to deviate from manufacturers reco's. Affects braking distance, traction and your ride is probably more harsh---all to get maybe 1% better mileage?

City mileage about 24 mpg. Highway mileage about 30 mpg. I use mobil 1 now, but didn't until 12,400 mile mark. Till then used organic 5W20. Now use synthetic 5W30.

Switch to 5W-20 and you will get better mileage, I use 0W-20, but it is no longer available from Mobil.

LX vs EX MPG by dan bitman

I am trying to find out if there is a significant MPG difference between LX 2WD vs EX 4WD CRV ( all auto).
What edmunds is listing is not that much of a difference ( 2MPG less for the EX AWD), I wonder if real world is the same.
I heard people being very dissapointed for the EX MPG...
Thanks to all LX and EX owners!

Well, I just purchased an 04 EX 4WD CRV, and only two tanks of gas in, I am less than impressed with the mpg. It is a bummer, because other than that, I love the vehicle. There are only 10800 miles on the car. My last tank of gas only netted 250 miles. Granted, that is city driving. But not a whole lot of stop and go - I don't live in a big city. I don't drive fast, don't stomp on the gas. I was just wondering if there was something that I was doing really wrong, because I am seeing nowhere NEAR estimated mpg.
 
I'd love any suggestions, is this something I should discuss with the dealer?

Have you calculated your actual MPG? I ask.. because the low fuel light comes on really early... and even though you are only getting 250 miles.. you may only be using 10-11 gallons.... and that would be 23-25 MPG.. not so bad..

Hi, I haven't calculated actual MPG, and was hoping that something was just weird with the guage. I would be happy with at least 20ish MPG. My guage now shows a little over half a tank, and I have only driven 90 miles! My last fill-up, my dad took it for a test spin and filled up the tank for me, so I didn't get to see how many gallons were actually used. I will check actual MPG with my next fill up and report the results. Thanks for your quick reply!

As kyfdx implied, your problem may be simply that the CR-V has a smallish tank, 13.5 gals, I think. Miles driven divided by gallons used will give you the # you're looking for which should be a gallon or two better than 20ish.
