CR-V average MPG (petrol & Diesel)

[bracken78]

Hi all,

We are considering changing the current 330i for a CR-V soon. I like to go into new car ownership with my eyes open and was interested to hear what average MPG owners are seeing from the 2.0 petrol and 2.2 diesel (CTDi not the DTEC).

Edit to add, 95% thinking manual gearbox and not an auto.

Thank you all for your input. Very useful. I do like Honda’s having had 2 x S2000 and my wife really likes the CR-V and so do I.

Seems the diesel will see an average of very high 30’s on average, while the petrol could then be very high 20’s average.

I think 2 x test drives need to be completed in March.

Thanks again for your input.

Here's the fuelly log for my 2nd gen 2004 CRV (petrol).

My car leads a gentle life as a second car, and averages 26mpg in mixed driving. Low gearing (22mph/1000rpm in 5th) and poor aerodynamics kill the fuel economy. Can get 30mpg if you take it easy on the motorway. Would expect the newer petrol models to get a few more miles per gallon. The diesels are obviously much better, but heavy oil consumption and DMF failures are known problems.

Thanks for the reply and that is some very light usage plus also the same MPG as my 330i. I can see us heading the for diesel.
