    Honda CR-V 2007 fuel economy

    Hi

    I have an 07 model CR-V Sport which I've owned for about 6 weeks now. I have refuelled the car 3 times now and have noticed the fuel economy is very poor. The specifications say 10L/100Km but I'm lucky to get 14L/100km. Bit less than 400km to a tank.

    Just wondering how the fuel economy is for other CR-V owners? What fuel do you use? Would I benefit from putting the premium fuel in?

    Thanks

    I have an 08 model, and I get around 11-13L/100km depending on how I drive. Usually around 430-440km per tank. I just use regular unleaded fuel.

    That's a worry. I wonder why mine is so poor

    10L/100km are "highly optimistic" figures. You'd be able to do that if you were doing 80%+ highway conditions.
    13-15L/100km would be "normal" for almost 100% urban situations.

    Given that it's the same engine in the Euro Accord (1,400kg) and the C-RV (1,600kg) - the extra weight of the C-RV does it no favours for fuel economy.

    Its fairly comon knowledge that the Crv's are not the best with fuel economy. We have a 06 Crv and I too was not happy with the figures when we 1st got it.

    Agreed, Wife use it most of the times around suburbia dropping the kids off etc and averages about 13-14/100kms. Even when I drive it to work (25kms) on the freeway best I've got it down to is 11.5/100km.

    One thing to note is that the test conditions that were tested under ADR do not replicate real world driving, factors such as wind resistance and atmospheric conditions are not factored in.

    about 13L for 100% city driving and 8.5L on highway both with shell v-power. Do note that the display avg.fuel consumption is a bit inaccurate. Its best to do manual calculation each time you fill up. Try different fuel company as i've notice different brand give a slight improvement in consumption

    Furel consumption figures quoted on the silly sticker may be accurate for "test conditions", but it bears no resemblance of the reality we all live in. That is why I treat the fuel consumption figures as more like "works of fiction".

    in 2002, we test drove several cars to buy a new car. The new Ford came out and the quoted fuel consumption was about 11L/100km. As a demo car which was driven home by the salesmen and considering the lead foot treatment for a fun ride, the trip computer showed up as 21L/100km. So reality sat somewhere between these two extremes.

    I use 93 petrol from Caltex mostly. I find the average fuel consumption counter very accurate. I reset the counter after every fill up. I did use a manual calculation a few times and got the very same figures.

    May I suggest to check the tyre pressure, just in case...
