"Crazy Good" is the fact that they promised me a combined average of 38, and all I can get is 43, consistently.
I have a 2018 crv touring with 52000 miles on it and gave always had 28-29 mpg
I found that using premium gas gave me 4MPG better mileage. The turbo engines work so much better on premium even if Honda's manual does not require it.
No, not normal. I'm averaging 35 MPG in eco mode, with 24k miles on the 2018 EX buggy. 70% highway and 30% city driving. If you go no faster than 55 on the highway, you can average close to 50 MPG. I kid you not.
Not sure about your 2020 but the mileage on my 2011 sucked until after the first oil change. Evidently the 'break-in' oil is heavier than standard running oil which makes the engine work harder. (explanation was per the honda mechanic I spoke to about it.) After that, combined driving mileage increased to a running average of 21-26 mpg with a top highway mileage of 38 mpg at 55mph over 100 miles with no air conditioning or heater running BUT also had a tank full of good gas not tainted by the EPA's mandated 'reformulated' fuel that we have in my home area.
Very true. I maintain a household in two different countries; the Philippines and the UAE. In the Philippines, my driving is around 95% city and 10% highway. In the UAE it is about 20% city and 80% highway. I get better fuel economy with my V8 in the UAE(mostly highway) than I do with my V6 in the Philippines(mostly city).
InMy 2017, I just got over 42 on a tankful driving from NC to Ohio.
Had a 2018 Mk5 for 10 months, 8000 miles. Got 44mpg. Now have 2019 Hybrid, 15 months, 9000 miles, 52mpg. Solution, you have bought a Hybrid.
I have the 2020 Touring version with AWD. I don't do any "city" driving which I take to mean lots of stop-and-go with heavy traffic. I live rural, but on winding, hilly roads. The vehicle was 6 months old on the 17th of this month and has about 3,500 miles on it. I manually calculate my mileage at every fill-up and so far my lowest mpg was 28 and best was 31.7 mpg.
I own a 2012 AWD EXL that I purchased new. I ALWAYS got 25-26 MPG around town as the speed limits here are 35-40 where I mostly drive when new. I get mostly the same whether in ECON mode or OFF mode. I drive 99% in ECON mode. On a trip last year on the PA Turnpike I did 70-75 MPH with the AC on and averaged 31-32 MPG. I LOVE my car and each time I go in for an oil change I am offered TOP dollar for trading in on a new one. I know there are more problems each year with the newer cars, yes even Hondas. I will keep mine until the wheels fall off. It is the best machine I have ever owned. In fact, I don't think I'd buy any new vehicles and when the time occurs might just look for a 2012 model or earlier of a reliable brand.
