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.

Then there's this post that says the rating system is too different to compare:

Oh, definitely! But the unit conversion is a good place to start.

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 28+ MPG's combined even if it is in Imperial Gallons still blows away the US version by 5+ MPG's. "
 
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.

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.

headrests by quebecinn

I just purchased a 2008 CRV-LX. I'm 5' 7" and after driving my new car for about 10 minutes I had to stop and remove the headrest. My head was tilted forward because of the angle of the headrest (leaning too much forward). My chin almost touched my chest. Very uncomfortable. Poorly designed headrest. I now have turned it around. Unfortunately, It won't lock in that position and doesn't offer protection for my neck.

Did you test drive the vehicle before buying it?

If you haven't already tried it, I find that tilting the seat backward helps a lot.
