#67 of 108 English CR-V Gas Mileage by crvexl2008 Sep 15, 2008 (8:16 pm)
Follow the link and correct me if I am wrong but the same CR-V gets an average of 34.5MPG combined City & Highway in England! I guess thats because the steering wheel is on the Right hand side! In fact all of the same cars, trucks, and SUV's you buy in the US have almost the same counterpart in the EU and get substantially better fuel economy. I always thought it was all rigged! I wish my CR-V averaged 34.5 combined MPG's! http://www.carpages.co.uk/guide/honda/honda-cr-v-2.0i-vtec-ex.asp Replies to this message: steve_ (Sep 15, 2008 8:25 pm) stevedebi (Sep 15, 2008 8:34 pm) tidester (Sep 15, 2008 8:59 pm) steve_ (Sep 15, 2008 9:03 pm) and 2 more... crvexl2008 (Sep 17, 2008 12:25 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: crvexl2008 (Sep 15, 2008 8:16 pm) Perhaps if you switched to Imperial gallons, you could get that 34.5. It's funny that the Imperial gallon is no longer legal to use in the UK for trade purposes, but they can use it for advertising mpg figures.

IIRC the English model uses the 2.0 liter engine. Also, that is IMPERIAL gallons, which are larger than US Gallons.

Replying to: stevedebi (Sep 15, 2008 8:34 pm) FYI: 1 Imperial gallon = 1.2 U.S. gallon To convert from miles per imperial gallon to miles per U.S. gallon multiply by 1/1.2 = 5/6 so 34.5 miles per imperial gallon translates to 28.75 miles per U.S. gallon. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: steve_ (Sep 15, 2008 9:03 pm) tidester (Sep 15, 2008 9:09 pm) steve_ (Sep 15, 2008 9:22 pm) crvexl2008 (Sep 17, 2008 12:25 pm) stevedebi (Sep 17, 2008 12:41 pm)

Replying to: tidester (Sep 15, 2008 8:59 pm) I am glad I posted! The 28+ MPG's combined even if it is in Imperial Gallons still blows away the US version by 5+ MPG's. Thankyou but I am still not sure they were using Imperial but I will check the site out or contact a rep in the UK to get the correct info. Thanks for the responses!

" The spec page clearly states it is a 2.0L engine. That is almost 1/2 liter smaller than the American engine, which probably accounts for the MPG difference. If we had a smaller engine here, we would get similar MPG.

Replying to: crvexl2008 (Apr 30, 2008 10:19 pm) I have had my EXL CRV for 2 weeks now and pretty much like it. The road noise is high, thinking of new tires recommended by consumer reports. Do NOT like the fact that there is no sunvisor extension for the side, VERY annoying and such a simple thing! Have to remember to turn on the headlights. And the rear license plate is banging in the wind, hoping when I get permanent plates it will solve the problem. Otherwise OK.
