Crappy gas mileage...???

Man, you need an auto. :auto: lol

Well, it depends on speed limit, angle of hill, etc. I can’t tell you how to drive a hilly road I can’t drive myself.

Just don’t be afraid to use your cars power potential… you can rev that sucker up… but don’t redline it. Just don’t sit there and cruise at high RPM… once you “quickly” get up to a good cruising speed… shift into a higher gear. If it’s up and down hills… downshift to climb em.

im tryin to save as much gas as i can, gas is high here around 2.30 regular so its killing me

It’s just your gauge don’t worry about it.

Mine stays at full for about 60 miles then drops rapidly (about 30 miles) to right above the middle. It stays around the middle for around 80 miles, then drops again pretty rapidly to right above empty. I get about 60 miles above empty, and then below I get about 60 more miles before I decide to fill up (light still isn’t on yet).

It seems like I get real bad gas milage if you go by the gauge, but if you really think about it I’m about normal. The gauge is just inacurate.

i guess you’re right because the needle does that and it urks me, guess ill just fill up when the gas light comes on, then ill calculate how much gas i used :think:

I’m always thinking my gas mileage sucks ass, but then I think again:

I drive more than 60 miles a day… and my engine was designed for a car with a bigger gas tank (googling to back that statement up)

edit:

From MSN AUTOS on the CRV: Fuel Economy (city / hwy): Four-Wheel Drive

2.0L 126 hp I4
4-Speed Automatic Overdrive 22 / 25 mpg

from NCTD.com :

Fuel capacity: 15.3 gal.

as opposed to the integra’s 13.2 gallons.

when i hear people whine about how they do 20mpg and they used to to 30mpg, i say: well mine does about 7.5mpg so quit crying

@MattyG2

why

why what? why it only does 7.5mpg? i have no clue, i’ll have to investigate but its winter around here, i just shoveled 1.5" of snow in the backyard to move the car and i dont have a garage so it’ll have to wait until spring

I love my Prelude. Digital Gas meters rock.
