Good morning. I have noticed that whether I am on side streets or the highway my MPG seems much lower than it should be. I also want you to know I stop the auto-idle if that could contribute. No matter where I drive my mpg averages 19-21mpg. It is under warranty until January so I prefer to take it to my local Honda Dealer. The person I spoke with didn't seem too concerned about it, said they would look it over but he wasn't sure if they could do anything. I made an appointment but now I am second guessing. I have an auto shop I trust that I have been using exclusively for 12 years but I didn't want to start going there until the warranty ends. Does this sound low to you? There is another local dealer, do you think perhaps I should call them and see if they could look at it? Thanks in advance.

Corn Fusion be gone.
27/32 AWD 1.5T
40/35 AWD 2.0L HEV
27 is much lower than 40
and 32 is about the same as 35
That is my answer to your question:
I don't have a Hybrid, it is Just a 2022 CRV EXL AWD CRT. Does that affect the numbers a little compared to yours?
As you can see, my real world numbers for my driving are about 35.5 Average where the EPA estimate is 38. That is because of a lot of factors but the biggest is that I drive more highway(ish) than city stop n go.
Edit: But thats not important. What is important is why you are only getting 20 mpg. The challenge is to find out why.
So what would drag your mpg down? Its a long list.
Brakes dragging or two foot driving.
Wrong oil.
Bad gas.
Transmission issue
Alignment issue.
Tire issue.
Timing issue.
Injector issue.
Spark plug issue
ECM issue.
Exhaust restriction
Weather issue
Load issue
or (dont take offense)
Driver issue
or any combination of the above
Also consider that concern for fuel economy should logically begin with the judicious use of the Econ mode.

Sorry the reason I wrote you had a hybrid is under the second picture you posted it says hybrid touring radiant. I assume that was your own description of your display. Mine is not a hybrid either. Sorry for the confusion. Mine is exactly the same as yours. After speaking with the director of the dealership group that I bought the car from that's a route I'm definitely going to explore. I called Honda Corp tonight and they confirmed that I have a full new car warranty until mid January. So from hearing that the service manager was going to waive the diagnostic fee is not even correct. There should be no diagnostic fee. as far as no guarantee of miles per gallon why would anybody put a sticker on a car window then? I am going to reach out and speak to the service manager himself or herself before I go next Saturday and clear up a few things. As far as driving habits I'm about 70% City and 30% highway driving. City driving about 5 Mi over limit highway 10. I'm 52 so my Speed Demon Days are far behind me so I drive pretty reasonably.

What you are reading is not what I wrote. It is my signature block that appears automatically on every post I make. It is what I have. The photos are of my display.
I know what you are talking about and my suggestions are based on your jalopy, not mine.

The current trip odometer A is 12k. Overall odometer on car is 65k.

One can look up current EPA testing parameters.
oh okay. Sorry about that. These suggestions you made are appreciated. I just hope that what it is can be covered under warranty and not wear and tear.
Gotcha.
If you are doing a lot of short trips, stop and go traffic, or a lot of idling then this seems pretty normal to me. My 1.5t gets killer fuel economy but I do mostly highway.
For instance, my wife does mostly city and short trips in our Odyssey, the sticker says we should get 19 city....last tank was 15.8 and currently reads 14.
You can compare what you get to what others with the same engine on Fuelly.
I get 3 MPG more with 38lbs pressure in each tire than the ridiculous 32lbs the sticker says.
The ride is harsher, but the MPG are better.
The EPA test is for comparison car to car - It is not what you will get - It is if you drive exactly as they test it.

So straight highway driving only? Okay, I will try that if the mpg/actual gallons exercise doesn't pan out.
Thank you. I did it on fuelly and the lowest it showed was 4 reported a 22 but the largest range was from 26-32 with the most at 29. Even if you don't drive it as they test it if I had gone to purchase it and it said 27/32 and they said however you could get as low as 19/20 I would have simply left. I have owned many cars in my life and this is the first with such a large discrepancy over MPG.You can compare what you get to what others with the same engine on Fuelly.

what numbers do you get by tracking actual miles & gallons pumped? are they close to the computer figures?

The math ranges from 35.3 to 35.6 over 3 fill ups. Within 1.5 mpg from the trip meter.
I should say that the math numbers that I did was on a trip so 80% highway.
I just got back home, tracked my usage and refilled the tank. After the math not based on the display but in actual measurement I got 21.9MPG. Compared to what I am supposed to get too low for me. 27 city/32 highway vs. 21.9 regardless is way too off. I'll admit I started after this and what the service manager said about MPG not being guaranteed I started to look into NYS Lemon Law. I 100% qualify in my case.
I am thinking the best plan is to take it to my local Honda as scheduled for Tuesday as I bought the car used from a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram dealer. The group manager I bought it from had said if needed they would send it to a Honda dealer if they couldn't work on it. So maybe try Honda directly but I'm kind of not too confident when I told the advisor and he said he wasn't sure what they could do.
I will still call the service manager at the point of purchase on Monday and then plan to take it on Saturday if it's not resolved by my Honda Dealer. I will talk to the dealership group manager about how best to solve this if there is no success. If I have to I will go for a return/exchange.
I'm not sure what else to do. Especially now that I have actual proof versus just the display.
Thoughts of any kind WOULD be appreciated and respected. Thank you to everyone so far.

All I can say is that you might want to move forward quickly as it is likely the dealership you purchased from will be gone soon.
What do you mean by that?
We will hopefully know more soon this week.
