23.3 MPG (miles per gallon). The 2004 Honda CR-Vs in this analysis were driven mostly in the city (about 50 percent of the miles driven). The rest of the miles were on the highway at an average speed of 60 miles per hour (30 percent), in heavy traffic (10 percent), and in the suburbs (10 percent). In addition the average 2004 Honda CR-V in this analysis was driven on flat terrain with a medium foot and the AC on only some of the time. |

| 2013 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Mixed city, and short (5-6 miles on freeway) commute averaging 23-24 mpg. Long road trip including some hills ~30-31 mpg. Does appear to get even higher (32 mpg?) on flat freeways around 60-70 mph. |
| 2012 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
Had two months and drove 2950 miles. We averaged 29.9 mpg with about 70% being highway miles. Local miles are about 27mpg with between 30-34 on the highways at 70mph. These are actual miles via filling up although the onboard computer is very close |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
21 city/28 hghwy not bad for AWD |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Solid for a small SUV |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
We have gotten as high as 35 mpg on the highway under optimal conditions. It does not do as well in town, usually running around 18, but we drive the Prius in town and use the CR-V for road trips. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
reasonably efficient engine. not powerful, but just barely enough. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Not the best but definitely very good. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
usuall getting around 23 mpg and have gotten 28 on a long trip |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Getting above 30 on the highway |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Its fuel economy was tops in the class |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
At first, the mileage was disappointing, but after the break-in, it really picked up and I get over 30 highway and pretty good (23) in stop and start |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
On the open road I get 31 mpg and overall 27 mpg. That is very good for a vehicle that size. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
I was looking for a compact SUV with good gas mileage and the CR-V is among the top in fuel economy. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
Unbeatable! |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 156-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
Decent fuel economy for an SUV, newer models with a more powerful engine might not be as good. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
I drive 40k-60k per year and need to get the best fuel mileage I can from an AWD/4x4 vehicle. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
Decent for an all wheel drive vehicle. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
Good mileage for a AWD vehicle |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
I get about 25mpg which is ok for an all wheel drive suv |
| 2001 | 4dr SUV 146-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |

I guess I wish I was getting at least 30 mpg with fuel prices so high and future prices will be even higher. |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
just bad. on the drive Ottawa-Montreal, never got better than 14 l/100 km, during fall months (no aircon). i know that winter make it eat up to 20 l/100 km (my mom drives crv). |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
mediocre fuel economy for what is basically an AWD car. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 156-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
It only gets about 1 or 2 MPG less than a Pilot, which disappointed me. I would have went with a Pilot had I known the mileage would be SO close. |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Worse economy than I expected and a smaller fuel tank too. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
23 mpg has been the best to date. That is tolerable when gas is less than $2.50, it will not feel so good when it goes above $3 |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual AWD |
I have gotten up to 32 MPG and usually get around 26 to 28. Nice. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
for a 4 cylinder poor miliage per gallon. |
