What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Honda CR-V

Honda CR-V Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2015	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.4L I4 CVT AWD	The fuel economy is nearly as good as advertised - I have been averaging about 30 MPG in a combination of stop & go suburban driving, rush hour traffic, and highway cruising. see full Honda CR-V review
2013	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Mixed city, and short (5-6 miles on freeway) commute averaging 23-24 mpg. Long road trip including some hills ~30-31 mpg. Does appear to get even higher (32 mpg?) on flat freeways around 60-70 mph. see full Honda CR-V review
2012	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD	Had two months and drove 2950 miles. We averaged 29.9 mpg with about 70% being highway miles. Local miles are about 27mpg with between 30-34 on the highways at 70mph. These are actual miles via filling up although the onboard computer is very close see full Honda CR-V review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr SUV 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD	I guess I wish I was getting at least 30 mpg with fuel prices so high and future prices will be even higher. see full Honda CR-V review
2009	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD	mediocre fuel economy for what is basically an AWD car. see full Honda CR-V review
2009	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD	just bad. on the drive Ottawa-Montreal, never got better than 14 l/100 km, during fall months (no aircon). i know that winter make it eat up to 20 l/100 km (my mom drives crv). see full Honda CR-V review
2006	4dr SUV 156-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD	It only gets about 1 or 2 MPG less than a Pilot, which disappointed me. I would have went with a Pilot had I known the mileage would be SO close. see full Honda CR-V review
2003	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Worse economy than I expected and a smaller fuel tank too. see full Honda CR-V review
2002	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	for a 4 cylinder poor miliage per gallon. see full Honda CR-V review
2002	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual AWD	I have gotten up to 32 MPG and usually get around 26 to 28. Nice. see full Honda CR-V review
2002	4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	23 mpg has been the best to date. That is tolerable when gas is less than $2.50, it will not feel so good when it goes above $3 see full Honda CR-V review
