2017 Touring Owner here- I do not see any difference in Mileage- However only time I use it is if road conditions are bad- seems to get more traction .Hi,
Should i be using the ECON mode here in Canada in the winter to get a better fuel economy ? I feel the fuel consumption if quite high in the city.
I never floor the gas pedal, knowing AWD will consume more fuel due to its weight.If 12.4 is correct, you have something wrong. Do a hand calculation to find out. With city driving, you should see nearer to 8 than what you show, UNLESS you have an extremely heavy foot. IMHO.
It's not just weight. It's drive train loss due to power distribution. But it's also very negligible on the CRV.I never floor the gas pedal, knowing AWD will consume more fuel due to its weight.
I'm glad you used the word "warm", rather than "hot", as here in the desert, my mpg average per tank dropped 2-3 mpg May-Oct due to 100% A/C usage! You are right-on regarding times you can save fuel...anticipating slow downs/traffic lights, etc....
I floor it all the time but get great gas mileage because I pay attention to time I can save fuel. Coasting and going close to the speed limit are probably the biggest thing.
I have also been impressed on how much better gas mileage when it's warm out. Very noticeable.
I almost never use the A/C in this vehicle unless the humidity is high and temp is over 90.I'm glad you used the word "warm", rather than "hot", as here in the desert, my mpg average per tank dropped 2-3 mpg May-Oct due to 100% A/C usage!

Yes, 12.4 is high. Do you use the remote start a lot? If you do I would guess this is part of your problem. If I was you I would reset all the previous fuel economy information and start fresh with your driving habits. Don’t use ECON, just be sensible with your right foot. ;-)The dashboard is always showing 12.4L/100 km, no matter if i drive on the highway or in the city. But I have been driving more in the city than on the highway. I just got the car 2 weeks ago (lease transfer), hence I am not sure how this car was driven by the previous owner.
Should I reset all the mileage data and then take a closer look at the fuel stats ?
I have an LX which doesn't have remote start. I am going to reset the data before i full up the tank.Yes, 12.4 is high. Do you use the remote start a lot?

For how long should I warm the car, before driving off ? I am in Montreal.I have an LX which doesn't have remote start. I am going to reset the data before i full up the tank.
Ok, let me rephrase that. Are you letting your car warm up in the mornings before you drive off and if so how long? This has a huge effect on fuel economy.
