@@JanetAlexanderJewelry I’m Glad!

I am very lucky. I only have a 15 minute commute to work on back roads that are 35 mph. I do a few highway drives per year. But not many, to be honest. I am finding during the winter I average 32 mpg, and the summer 35. One thing to keep in mind is that I never reset my odometer, so this is now an average over two years of having the car. I never used to use cruise control, but allowing the car to drive more often (with my hands still on the wheel, of course!) gets me better mileage. I’m not sure how people are getting like 50 mpg? 🤔

You're so welcome!

Thank you for your own in-depth response. I am averaging 35 mpg even with using heat. I have a found (for myself) that button driving helps me get max miles per gallon.

sounds like she's trying sound dumbo

😆😂🤣

WOW! Thanks for the tip. I'll have to try that.

Can really a non-hybrid get such an MPG in the city?! Then what's the point for Honda in producing hybrids...

So sorry to hear that. Yes, that is one major draw back.

for me it's close being deal breaker

Fix a flat (and other kinds of tire additives that prevent minor punctures) would be beneficial for vehicles without spare tires.

WOW! I'll have to try that.

Gee, imagine what you would get if you didn't keep wasting energy by needlessly charging and discharging the battery. Let the car manage it, and you will do better. There are three paths for energy in this car. One is split into two different paths, used at different times. One of those halves is reversible, for regenerative braking. In order of decreasing efficiency: 1) Engine-->Two Gears-->Differential-->Wheels. (This is Engine Drive.) 2) Engine-->Generator-->PCU-->Motor-->One Gear-->Differential-->Wheels. (This is Hybrid Drive.) 3A) Engine-->Generator-->PCU-->Inverters-->Battery. (This is excess power in either Engine or Hybrid Drive) 3B) Battery<-->Inverters<-->PCU<-->Motor-Generator<-->Differential<-->Wheels. (This is EV Drive.) The PCU is the Power Control Unit, the electronics that control the motors. An inverter converts between AC and DC. The first point here is that you lose some energy in each step of each process. The biggest losses, by far, are in using the battery. The second is that EV Drive (path 3B) is using gas; more gas, in fact. It is gas you burned earlier, in path 3A . The car uses the strategy of over-producing power most of the time. This actually makes the engine more efficiency; you might make 50% excess power by using only 25% more gas. The system will allow the battery charge level to oscillate in a small range - in ECON mode it is three bars to five bars. When it drops below that range, the engine will start to charge the battery. When it goes higher, it will use EV Drive if it can. What you are doing, is forcing it to discharge the battery quicker than it should, a

To be honest, I am in the same boat as you a bit. As winter came, I keep seeing my MPG drop. It was 36 MPG in the summer, and now it is 31.5

I'm hitting 36 MPG on my 2023. do you drive up steep hills? colder area?

@@DrHondaCRV Once winter hit, my MPG defiantly went down. I am hoping to watch it climb back up once spring and summer come along again.

@Jennifer Engel Cold weather has a detrimental effect on hybrid batteries. This is why the fuel economy in your hybrid drops in the winter. So, your hybrid uses the internal combustion engine more frequently (and thus, less MPG). Pure EV (ie, Tesla) driving ranges also decline significantly in winter months.

My experience too. I bought my crv hybrid in January and was soooo upset to only get 30 mpg at best. I read alot about it online. But sure enough, it's around 40 now that summer is here. It's hard to adjust my expectations cuz good mpg is the main reason I bought this car.

Silver - I am finding they the miles per gallon goes down during the winter and has almost become like an average CRV in regard to gas mileage, but i swear I don’t have to fill up as often

Thank you! I love your constant postive attitude!

follow it down the hole. lol

Thank you. And it loves you! :)
