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

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

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Lincoln MKZ

Lincoln MKZ Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	I wavered on whether or not to include fuel economy among the reasons to buy a Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. With the possible exception of its grille, no aspect of the car has been more controversial. As with other current Ford hybrids, owners found they could not match the original EPA estimates, in this case 45 mpg for both city and highway. Ford recently caved to pressure, revising the MKZ Hybrid's EPA ratings downward to 38 mpg city, 37 mpg highway and compensating owners for the difference. Which numbers are more accurate, the old or the new? Even with a cold start in near-freezing weather Gayla (who works the pedals like the typical American) managed over 34.6 mpg in the suburbs (based on the trip computer). With a trip computer reset after the engine was warm and much more effort put towards maximizing efficiency, I observed 51.6 with a two-way suburban trip. Taking the highway downtown and back, I observed 47.4 mpg. So the original EPA ratings are doable, just not when driving the car the typical American way, with a heavy foot and the AC blasting. Braking is at least as important as acceleration. Wait too long to start slowing down for a red light, as most Americans do, and the car's kinetic energy will be used to heat the brake rotors rather than being channeled back into the battery pack. When the battery is fully charged, the car can and will cruise for a few miles on electricity alone. The Lexus ES 300h's EPA ratings are a couple mpg higher than the Lincoln's. My experience with the related Camry Hybrid suggests that the Lexus will also have a real-world advantage, but one small enough to consider them "about the same." The only other midsize luxury sedans offering similar fuel economy are diesels from Germany, such as the Mercedes-Benz E250 BlueTEC. Though these are much quicker than the hybrids, they are also far more expensive. How much more? If you have to ask... see full Lincoln MKZ review

Lincoln MKZ Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
	The MKZ with the 2.0T engine is EPA-rated 22/33 mpg with FWD, 22/31 with AWD. This barely tops the V6-powered ES, and in the real world likely trails the Lexus. A front-wheel-drive Fusion 2.0T, with EPA ratings of 22/34, averaged 19.5 mpg in suburban driving during the week we drove it. With AWD in the heavier Lincoln, real-world fuel economy could get ugly. Step up to the V6, and the EPA figures fall to 19/28 with FWD and 18/26 with AWD (though mpg might not suffer at all outside the lab). Then again, the MKZ is available with a hybrid powertrain rated by the EPA at 45 mpg for both city and highway driving--at no additional cost over the base engine. Even though this powertrain can't seem to approach these impressive numbers in the real world, it's far more efficient than the other two engines. It's the clear choice for buyers who place a high priority on fuel economy. see full Lincoln MKZ review
