Replying to: vegashomes (Apr 06, 2009 6:58 pm) Well of course it voids the warranty. Honda designed it the way they wanted it. It is easier for the engine to spin at higher rpms on the highway vs. lower rpms. Replies to this message: blueiedgod (Apr 17, 2009 11:43 am) blufz1 (Apr 18, 2009 2:36 pm)

It is easier for the engine to spin at higher rpms on the highway vs. lower rpms.   Well, it can be argued that at highway speeds lower RPMs yield lower lifetime distance that a piston travels in the cylinder for given mileage, i.e. improvement on the original design.

Replying to: blueiedgod (Apr 17, 2009 11:43 am) Yes,you can argue that,but,If that were the case,Honda and other Mfgrs. would gear their cars higher,initially. We would all be lugging around with 2 speed transmissions,etc.,to minimize rpms.
#39 of 39 Big trip by ncskibum Jul 29, 2009 (7:10 am)
My wife and just completed a 12 state swing of the southeast through the midwest. In just over 14 days, we put over 4000 miles on our 09 CRV. I'm really happy that we did not have to do it in our 05 Corolla. We averaged around 26 mpg with a lot of mountain driving at 35 to 45 mph since we were on the Blueridge Parkway and the Shenandoah National Park. Only issue I noticed was that accelerating to highway speeds in the mountains, I would get the occasional engine pings. Otherwise, the CRV handled great and was really comfortable for that long of trip.There was more than enough power for passing even from a set speed of 75.
