I’ve been doing some testing and here are some initial results
23 CRV Sport 1.5T Canadian variant AWD
I have been trying a few things since my mpg is way off lol
I had 91 miles remaining in my tank
my avg consumption was 27 mph over my first 650miles prior to the trip combined 50-50 highway /city
So I decided to pay attention on my next trip which was strictly freeway at speed of 70miles per hr for the trip in my test it was babied never over 3k rpm
distance was 55.9miles according to google maps when I arrived I had 12-13 miles remaining in my tank
quite a big difference obviously no stop and go no traffic and ac/heating were off meanwhile seat warmers were on
Somehow miles calculated by Honda and google in relative difference were off by 22 miles on a 56mile trip??? I mean if it was a few miles I wouldn’t have second guessed it had to go back and do the math ….
So I did some more math
I filled up once plus the original full tank and another half tank (maybe slightly more tank for me to fill is usually 77 cad I paid 40$ for half or just ever over but let’s be generous and count it as half
I want to be detailed as possible and accurate
so two full tanks and one half tank or ever slightly more gave me exactly 733 miles
So 35-35.5 gallons have me 733 miles which is just under 21 mpg I felt it was way off so I had to do the math as it was not close to what I was expecting or what the dash was reporting
Since we are on the topic and maybe there is someone with a better understanding
Hybrid FWD 43/36 mpg
AWD 40/34 mpg
We see 3mpg drop in city and 2 mpg drop in hwy driving when adding awd which totally makes sense
Meanwhile
1.5T FWD 28/34 AWD 27 / 32
conclusion awd impact on city driving on hybrid is 3mpg or 3x what it is on the 1.5T
I for some reason expected opposite results since hybrid is at its best in the city driving when it comes to milage. Just wondering why the awd would make that much more of a difference in hybrid vs 1.5city when adding awd to both models
all other numbers fall in line
based on numbers provided by Honda
