Replying to: tommypistol (Aug 20, 2007 6:06 pm) #547 of 547 23.6 mpg with a/c on 2007 CRV 4WD by guru_g Sep 04, 2007 (12:30 pm) Bookmark | Reply I get around 25 mpg without airconditioning (a/c). I always use cruise control when I can and drive from 65-68 mph. total mileage=4100 miles. On one of the longer freeway trips (~200 miles) I got around 27 mpg on the freeway driving 75-80 mph with cruise control and a/c. The above is without any passengers in the car. Enjoy the power

Consumer reports has just weighed in on their comparison of MPG amongst various categories of vehicles. I just received my '08 New Car Preview. CR had an article about fuel economy and how to use/interpret the EPA new figures as opposed to CRs real world tests. On page 16 they listed Best & Worst in Fuel Economy - those cars they actually tested. In the Best column, under midsized SUV's, in 8th place appears CX-7. Yippee!  With 18 overall MPG, City at 12 and highway at 25. The only other vehicle that made the list, that's routinely compared in these forums, is the RAV4 and Forrester, both fell under the "Small SUV" category. Y'all can take comfort in that there are lots of other vehicles that did a whole lot worse! Now, don't ya'll feel better?  Vince.

Replying to: vbbuilt (Sep 17, 2007 10:03 am) Urban driving is bringing a fairly steady 19.5~20 mpg and shorter rural (non-stop) driving is also delivering about 22 mpg. I once brought the speed up to 100 mph for a very short time and it ran quite smooth and quiet. |

Replying to: oldarmy (Nov 02, 2007 9:56 am) Also - what are you REALLY averaging for mpg highway/city? Trying to decide on the CX-7 or the Mitsu Outlander.
