Some Honda CR-V owners report experiencing poor gas mileage due to various factors affecting their MPG performance on the highway. These owners have noted that adjusting driving habits can significantly enhance fuel efficiency, with some finding an optimal pedal position that maximizes EV mode and minimizes unnecessary engagement of the internal combustion engine. Additionally, maintaining proper tire pressure is crucial, as low pressure can increase drag and reduce MPG; some users have reported a 2 MPG improvement by inflating tires to 36 PSI. Furthermore, driving at higher speeds or against strong winds has been observed to negatively impact fuel economy, with varying MPG results depending on conditions. Lastly, some owners have highlighted that the onboard MPG calculations may not always be accurate, as manual calculations during fill-ups often reveal discrepancies, with the onboard system tending to be overly optimistic. By considering these factors, Honda CR-V owners can take steps to improve their vehicle's gas mileage performance.
