We have an 07/08 crv 6 speed man, mix of driving, 60 -70% city 30 - 40% hwy, and we consistantly get low 9L / 100km even high 8L / 100km on several occasions. Definately happy with our CRV's consumption. Car has just clocked over 40k, bought brand new and serviced @ honda at all required service intervals.
6 speeds the way to go!

"manual" is the key word here :thumbsup:
Once you swith to auto you can add at least 1-1.5 l/100 km :D

I've put Shell V-Power in at the last fill so I'll see if that helps. I can see by the gauge it's down to 13L now, from over 14L so perhaps it helps. Not sure if it is worth the extra cost though.

ive got a 07 CRV and daily trips to work and back consists of urban and highway (5 mins on the M7) and always clock an average of about 11.5 L/100km. Usually get a good 400 kms at the end of every week.
I use Premium 98 usually @ shell or BP, piss Caltex off! for some reason their fuel is horrible, maybe diluted with water, makes consumption less than impressive and i can feel a difference in engine performance.
the one thing that impressed me with this heavy crv-suv-car was a trip to Dubbo clocking in about 6 - 7 L/100km giving me a wooping 600km and over to the tank.
this 3rd gen crv is still a good car economic wise. Its not too thirsty and not that underpowered. I suppose its just a right balance and what to expect for a suv-car of this calibre.

Up till yesterday afternoon I've been driving a gen one 5 speed manual CR-V (2L engine). I fill up with Caltex 95, and I've gone as far as 530km on one tank (~9.1L/100km) with conservative driving, but 480-500km is typical.
Yesterday I got my 09 6 speed manual CR-V - yet to see whether it'll match the fuel consumption with a 2.4L engine....
-
My 03 2.4L 5sp Manual gets on average around 400-420km a tank (city only). Not really happy that it drinks like a six.

I drive CRV-08 lux auto, my average is 9.9liter/100km after 10k service. I never reset the trip B since I bought the car last year.
The trip computer will starting to show close to correct avg figure after you travel 100km.
In the 1st 20-30km of driving in mixed condition after resetting the trip meter, it is normal to return around 15-17lt/100km
so far I am happy with the fuel cons considering I accelerate hard with the car to get to the cruising speed.
I use regular unleaded 91, 36psi tyre pressure
My normal figure is between 8.8liter to 9.5liter/100km (60% freeway), the bad figure is between 10.8 - 11.3liter/100km in stop go traffic.

I get 10.2 l/100Km with an MY06XT Forester in suburban traffic (but not peak hour stuff). Yes the turbo cuts in, but I don't launch the thing. Quite happy really. I don't carry much in the back except for 3 cases of medicines.
Interesting to see the posts on this thread. I would have expected better on an N/A

Getting 8.8 litres to the 100km at the moment 2008 auto CRV. 91 octane shell with 50/50 highway to suburban driving. overall i am pretty happy with getting about 500 kms to a fuel tank.
-
Just refuelled. 47.05 litres for 537 kms travelled. 50/50 suburban / highway driving. 8.74 litres per 100 kms. Shell unleaded, 91 octane.
-
I have an 07 also, mostly Highway driving and will get 500km out of a tank. Minimum octane I suggest is 95.... I use the 10% ethenol stuff and it goes fine.
I have notice a big economy plunge when my foot feels a little heavier than normal or have to do more city driving. This engine at high rpm sounds just great :D

Hi all, I just returned from Holiday and we drove from the Gold Coast to Melbourne and return. Used 91 Ethanol all the way. 90% of this travelling was country driving at between 110 to 115 km/hour. The car was fully loaded with 3 x big bags, pram and all the baby gear you would need for a 3 week trip.
My CRV is an auto with 18,000 kms on it when we left. Tyre pressure all round was 38 PSI (possibly more than recommended but I seem to get a nice ride at this pressure). We travelled 3400 kms and the best fuel economy I got was 7.78 litres to the 100kms. Worst fuel economy between fills was 8.9 litres to the 100km. We averaged 8.54 litres to the 100 km. (these were all manual calculations as the trip metre was pretty inaccurate - either higher or lower - it was never within say 400 ml of the manually calculated consumption figures)
Overall I am pretty happy with the fuel consumption of my CRV.
