Wish we would have looked at this site before purchasing our 2006 CR-V. Like the vehicle but need a 2nd job to put gas in it. Consistantly getting less than 400 k. on a tank of gas. Not driving aggressively, but gas mileage is poorer than when we drive our 98 Ford F150, In 4 whl drive. Were told we’d get 30 on hiway, low twenties in city…..not even close

I have a 1998 Honda CR-V that I bought brand new in 1998. It has 134,000plus miles on it and still runs well. I was wondering what the highest mileage I can get on this car before getting a new one. Oh, and I do not like the way Honda re-designed the CR-V.

I love my 2000 crv but it definately doesn’t get 22 mpg city like it says. i was getting ROUGHLY around 240 miles per tank in the summer, but in the winter im getting ROUGHLY around 170. Most of my driving is city, and i usually put about 12 or 13 gallons in, cuz thats when the needle points to full but im pretty sure thats still nothing close to 22 mpg. 12×22=264, not 240 and those numbers are lenient too, but hey i cant complain.

I own a 2008 CR-V bought in Germany but imported from Denmark (complicated but saves taxes). Our first year we were going on trips and getting about 7,3l/100km average between city and highway driving. Suddenly now for some reason I get worse mileage on the Highway (average 9,2) than I do on the country roads (8,1) and I use Cruise as much as possible. Not sure what happened but it is starting to get annoying. Appreciate anything anyone has to offer….thx!

I bought a used 2007 CRV with 60,000Km on it. At first I got 7.6 L/100Km on the highway and in the mountains I got 7.2L/100Km on one trip. I averaged about 7.8 to 8.0L/100Km about town although I live in the country and hence much of the about town is actually highway driving. That is right on the average. The car did have nitrogen in the tires.
Recently, beginning in October( in Edmonton Alberta), the gas mileage have dropped significantly. We now average 8.2 to 8.6 L/100Km on the highway, and never get better than 8.6 to 9.0Km driving about town. My 3/4 ton sierra(2003) gets almost as good as that. What could have happened to get this sudden drop?
I did put some air in the tires when I was travelling, so could that have made a difference?
I have owned many Hondas before and this gas mileage is definitely very poor in comparison.

I just took about a 300km road trip and got 30+ mpg on the highway with a light headwind!

I recently bought a 2009 honda crv awd. I get about 15 mpg city and 19-20 mpg highway. Now when you guys talk about city driving what city are you talking about? I live in new york and I never get above 35 mph and I try not to hit the breaks to hard. I do not see how some of you can possibly get 20+ mpg in the city unless you live in the suburbs, out in the midwest or down south.

@Bill – it often comes down to speed along with the amount of stop and go.

For example … if you’re driving 70+ MPH on the freeway and <45 MPH in suburban driving (with few traffic lights), the numbers can favor the ‘burbs.

I got my 2004 CR-V brand new, loved it then and love it now. I just rolled through 75K miles with combined total mileage of 23.7 mpg – not so bad for an AWD 5-speed stick. Or is it?

My highway mileage – mostly driven with cruise ON is about 22.5 mpg (best ever, and only once on an ~ 300 mile tank was ~28 mpg, worst was 19 while dragging a trailer) – go figure. I replaced the original tires at about 65K, that didn’t make any difference. Driving 7 to 10 miles a day to work with a suburban mix is a pretty consistent at ~25. Any ideas why highway mileage is less the normal suburban?

I have a 2009 CR-V EX AWD, so far on the third tank of gas, The first and second tank gave me around, 25mpg-city, and 28.5mpg-Hwy. One other thing I have to say is my CR-V is carrying 3 people everyday (about 445lbs). I’m very happy with it.
