At the end of our 10 days in the CR-V EX-L, Ria and I compared notes. Our conclusion: The front-wheel-drive version of the CR-V is a smart choice for the highway. And unlike real sport-utility vehicles, it isn't stupid for the city.
Ria averaged 29 miles per gallon in the CR-V in her highway runs. She also saved money at the pump, because the CR-V uses regular unleaded gasoline. That's smart.
I averaged 21 mpg in the CR-V in city driving--not great, but not bad either, especially considering that I spent much of that time wasting gasoline idling in traffic jams. But the best part of city life in the CR-V was parking. It was a cinch--easy in, easy out. It often fit into spots that proved too small for mid- and full-size sport-utility vehicles.
