Been driving my crv for 20,000 kms now and I've noticed the range of the tank is just too low. Getting about 500kms (310miles) per tank compared to the advertized 700 kms (440miles) on highway driving. Granted I drive on the highway occasionally but a conservative driver nevertheless (graduale acceleration, limited HVAC use). What range are others getting?
You have to keep in mind that the type of driving you do (ie: freeway vs in town), as well as road conditions, traffic conditions, tire condition, fuel blend (there are many different fuel blends across north america), and driving style ALL factor into your realized MPG. As for the estimated distance after filling the tank.. that is very much just an estimate, so i would not get too attached to it... calculate based on gallons added to the tank and divide that by the miles driven since the last tank fill.
As someone who drives about 90% in town, urban, congested, short trip driving... I average about 22 mpg on my 2017 CRV. It has been very consistent. Note: I drive with ECO off.. always.
On a proportional basis compared to my old gen3 CRV .. it is very similar in results (EPA city mpg, vs actual).... meaning that I get the same % below EPA city rated mpg on my gen5 as I did on my gen3. Which is what I would expect since the driving conditions are essentially identical. Of course the gen5 does better in pure mpg because it is more fuel efficient, which is why I did a proporational comparison of historic mpg on my gen3 vs my new gen5.
One last thing to add is the gen5 CRV drives differently in terms of acceleration from stop. And I found out early on that easing into the pedal does not provide the best fuel economy results for in town driving. What I learned is that with the 1.5T engine.. you want to actually do something counter-intuitive... and lean into the accelerator more.. with the goal of getting past 25 mph as fast as you can, and then ease way back on the throttle. This gives me the best performance from a stop and it also improves mpg about 1-2 mpg from my experience. The reasons for this is all in how the CVT is tuned, and how and when the turbo engages.
