#13 of 786 2000 CRV LX AUTO 62K miles by asmith2 Jul 13, 2005 (9:41 am)
I just bought 2000 CRV, even though this model's engine is 2.0 I am getting 20-21 MPG. I drive 60% in city and around 40% on freeway (70-75mph). I checked with mechanic, he says every thing looks ok. I will appreciate any comments or suggestions. Thanx.
#14 of 786 poor gas mileage and small tank by choch Jul 14, 2005 (7:10 pm)
I have had my 2005 CRV 5 speed auto 4 cyl AWD since the end of november. My mileage in US Gal/mi average is about 21. This consisted of 50/50 hwy city driving as I drive to the city to work. This is dissapointing as my 2003 Accord gets an average of 29 doing the same thing. The accord has a much larger tank. I almost ran out of gas last weekend at less than 400 k (240 miles) on a full tank. The CRV needs a larger tank. Does anyone know of a retrofit???

#15 of 786 2004 EX MT by bshel Jul 17, 2005 (12:29 pm)
I have a 2004 CR-V EX MT. I fuel up with regular unleaded (87 octane) nearly every time -- at either Exxon/Mobil or Sunoco.   My mpg seems quite similar to stevedebi in post#4. At 75 Mph, 26-27 MPG on the freeway. When I keep my highway speed under 70, I have improved to 28 mpg.    Average city is around 22, mixed 23-24.
#16 of 786 Summer mileage 2003 CR-V EX AWD AT by mhildebrant Jul 23, 2005 (3:29 pm)
I bought a used 2003 EX about 2 months ago with 53,000 miles. Here in East Texas, we run the A/C pretty much all the time May-September. With about 50/50 city and highway miles we average 18-19mpg. Our best so far is 22mpg on an all-highway trip, running the A/C.   I called the dealership, asking if this kind of mileage was typical. He said it was because we run the A/C a lot, and that it should get better in the Fall. I know that A/C affects fuel economy, but I'm getting 4-5 mpg less that I should.   Has anyone else had this experience?

#17 of 786 First 1,000 miles by saabgirl Jul 23, 2005 (4:27 pm)
2005 CR-V EX auto with factory roof rack -- avg 21.8 mpg for the first 1000 miles.   Used Shell 87. The missus likes to run the AC full bore anytime the temp is above 85, which it has been quite a bit here in the Northeast. Most of the driving has been suburban stop and go, with some city and a fair amount of blue highways.   We expect to take a trip to Maine soon, and I'm looking forward to seeing what I get with 300 interstate highway miles.   But so far, I'm getting pretty much what Honda promised.

Our best so far is 22mpg on an all-highway trip, running the A/C.   A lot depends on your driving style.Is the highway mileage driving at 80 MPH? Or at 65 MPH? Faster highway speeds mean lower fuel mileage. City fuel mileage is affected by how fast you accelerate. Slow and steady wins the fuel mileage race.

Replying to: theracoon (Jul 24, 2005 5:11 am) The highway miles we put on are right at 65mph, and the city driving isn't just stop and go, either. Most of the stretches in town we drive are 40mph+. As far as heavy/light acceleration goes, we don't hot rod it, but sometimes it feels so sluggish that it requires a heavier foot to get moving. When we kick off the A/C, it seems to do much better, which I'm used to with 4 cylinders, but this seems pretty extreme. Replies to this message: theracoon (Jul 28, 2005 9:10 am)
