Honda CR-V: Driving / Fuel Economy and CO2 Emissions
Improving Fuel Economy and Reducing CO2 Emissions
Achieving fuel economy and reducing CO2
emissions is dependent on several
factors, including driving conditions, load weight, idling time, driving habits,
and
vehicle condition. Depending on these and other factors, you may not achieve the
rated fuel economy of this vehicle.
Maintenance and Fuel Economy
You can optimize your fuel economy with proper maintenance of your vehicle.
Always maintain your vehicle in accordance with the messages displayed on the
driver information interface.
- Use engine oil with the viscosity recommended.
- Maintain the specified tire pressure.
- Do not load the vehicle with excess cargo.
- Keep your vehicle clean. A buildup of snow or mud on your vehicle's
underside
adds weight and increases wind resistance.
Direct calculation is the recommended method to
determine actual fuel consumed while driving.

In Canada, posted fuel economy numbers are
established following a simulated test. For more
