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

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.

2008 CRV & Odometer reading wrong
by lcromer

I bought the car in July 2008. Last week with about 3800 miles on, the oil life began to blink and after a trip of 300 miles it went to -245 miles. At the same time, the odometer changed from around 3800 to 8300 miles! Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a way that the car has a computer chip that the dealer can read to see the odometer reading change?

I hope that you have better luck with your new 2008 crv then I have had. From things I have read on-line, it sounds to me like I got a 2007 model by mistake because many of the compliants from 07 seem to be found with this car. Six weeks after purchasing the car in March it begin to fail to start when you turned the key over- on noise on sound - DEAD! But all it takes to get it started (at this point) is to put it back in the start position and try again - starts right up! About 4 times it has made a loud hissing noice before starting. But the most change was when I was driving down the road one day and the hazard lights just started and stopped all by themselves. After taking it to the dealer several times.After my husband stepped into the picture,they suddenly found what they said was the problem d in Sept.- the gauge control modular- which they changed but no one could tell me what it did or why it would solve the problem. Finally ( Jan. 6) I got in touch with a women at Honda whol was willing to take the time and find out that this part controlled the speed gauge, rpm, gas etc. gauge - what did this have to do with a starting problem? Yes, the starting problem still exist and my phone calls/request from the dealer and Honda have been poorly ignored. After almost 10 months of this, we have had it! We are currently looking into our states lemon laws, because this car is a giant lemon! I bought this car based on the Honda name, a mistake I will never make again. We purchased a toyota 2 years ago and all that we have done is change the oil. I also agree with many of the other postings - the carpet quality is poor! I loved this car when I drove it off the lot, now I would like to push it off of a cliff!!!!!

My 08 CRV gave about 28MPG on the highway last year. Now that I have almost 19500 miles the mileage has improved a lot. Last weeks trip to DC from CT gave me an indicated mileage of 32 MPG on the way down, 33 on the way back (except the last 60 miles where my son drove and brought it down to 29 ;-(). I find that the best mileage is around 65MPG and the cruise control helps.
Calculated mileage is a bit worse 29.4 on the way down and 28.3 on the way back.
