Hi everyone, just joined this Forum, I have a CR-V EX I-DTEC AUTO DIESEL, wondering what mpg I should realistically be seeing. Mostly town driving.

Hi...welcome to the Forum

 

Typically around town you should not expect much more than around low 30's to the gallon

On an extra urban run it should achieve around high 30's to low 40's and on a decent motorway run it should get around mid to high 40 mpg.

 

Agree Trevor, I do 120 mile round trip to work and getting about 41 on that run. It will be less this time of year as the car will hold it longer in the lower gears to warm the car up. 

 

That sounds fair enough to me....would get more from a manual gearbox but for an auto, thats not bad at all

No I'm happy with that. The Accord Tourer I had, manual 2.2, used to get between 46 and 50, that was an excellent car. Had 257K out of her, same clutch, exhaust and everything electrical worked fine, great piece of engineering. Only got rid of her because my wife no longer wanted to drive so I have the CRV now, just hope she is as good.

 

 

Hi, ive just bought one. I’m getting about 42mpg and thats travelling 25ish miles to work and 25 back. A few roundabouts, 40 zones and a dual carrriageway. Plus a few nipping about town, so I’m ok with that. Sometimes put my foot down too. 

I reckon if you were to take it easy on a long distance ride, you would probably get a lot more. Depending on driving. 

Nice relaxing drive drive though. 

Hope this helps alittle.
