Fuel consumption of 2nd gen CRV

[sidney16]

guys tanong ko lang po, ilan po ung fuel consumption ng honda crv na 2nd gen pag dating sa highway at city drive?

[ram0722]

my fc averaged 6-7 for city..and maybe 10 for the highway..you plan on owning one?

[BG.Hotrod]

Almost the same as ram0722, 7-8, 9 tops on city driving. 10-12 sa long driving.

2nd gen crv's drinks fuel.

If you're planning in owning one, get the 1st gen. Better suspension and consumes lesser fuel compared to the 2nd gen.

City driving, mine gets 7-7.5km/l. Pretty decent since most cars of this class with the same displacement get roughly similar results.

[iskobalt]

Mine is a 2002 CRV and driving on a bumper to bumper traffic condition everday I get 5.5 -6 km/l. On long drive (out of town) I get 10km/l.

A friend of mine says that it maybe due to the size to weight ratio of 2nd gen that is why it sucks up lot of gas.

[RC-V]

mine is almost the same as the replies above.
How about getting a unichip or better yet LPG conversion for your ride.

yung akin kasi ginagamit ko lang sya for coding days and out of town long trips. or if i needed to haul big/heavy things.

A Unichip isn't worth the money if you're getting it for fuel economy alone. It would take a long time to recoup your investment in fuel savings. But if you're getting it for the power increase, the increase in economy is a small bonus.

LPG works because LPG is cheaper than gasoline. And with an LPG kit, it's worth the extra 4000-5000 bucks to have your SGI LPG kit dyno-tuned for maximum power and fuel economy.

agree! mine also is crv 2002 model and consumes fuel the same most of you have experienced.

better to commute kung malapit lang puntahan. for long driving (10km/li) i think its fair enough as compared to other brand/model of similar size.

kasing takaw pala ng xtrail ko yan...were talking here of the 2.0 ivtec crv right, not the 2.4's ha...

[junxuvi]

my 2003 crv which is manual transmision consumes an average of 7 to 8km per liter of gas, well it depende na sa paa ko kung gusto ko ihataw,im talking about city driving sa long distance 10 to 12 km per liter, mas matakaw talaga ang automatic transmission kaysa manual. sa automatic kasi haba ng 1st gear bago mag shift sa 2nd gear!

I have a question para sa lahat ng may 03 model. I drive 20km everyday, back and forth,
( 5 kms dun, city driving )
Mas nakaka tipid ba ako sa petrol kung in between 1100-1500 rpm ang odometer ko while cruising 5th gear o dapat mag downshift ako para maintained sa 2000 rpm. Medyo winding road kaya hindi ko din gaano binibilisan.

Thanks sa lahat ng mag rereply.

Correction, tachometer pala not odometer. hehehe.
Thanks ulit sa mag rereply.

for me mas makakatipid ka kung nasa 5th gear kaysa magdown shift ka. mas mapapalakas ang gas mo pag nasa 4th gear while maintaining 2t rpm.

Fellow tsikoters and GEN 2 drivers/owners,

"Tactic No. 2: Avoid Slowly Crawling Up to Speed



Conventional wisdom says that jackrabbit starts consume more fuel. But it turns out that nursing your speed up to the limit too slowly also lowers mpg. How can that be? Cars get poorer fuel economy in lower gears, and accelerating too slowly prevents upshifting at an efficient rate. The best acceleration rate varies with the vehicle, gear ratios and weight. But in our testing we found that taking 15 seconds to accelerate to 50 mph used less fuel than taking 30 seconds to reach the same speed, because the car entered its top, fuel-​saving gear sooner.

It made me think whether this applies also to standard shift vehicles or only to automatic transmission.

Manual shift kasi sasakyan ko at alalay ako mag accelerate , as needed basis lang ang sudden acceleration for me. Nalito tuloy ako
kung mas nakakatipid ba ako sa driving habits ko o dapat ibahin ko.


Your input are appreciated.

sir depende sa traffic situation. i think applicable lang itong driving tip na ito kapag highway or long driving. pag bumper-to-bumper traffic, advisable pa rin ung slow acceleration.

[2004crv]

i travel around 35 kms a day,i got 5.5 t0 5.8 kpl, short drive and short intervals lagi. but on highways, kuha sa 10 to 12 kpl

The trick is to moderately quickly accelerate to the highest speed you can maintain while still being able to coast to a stop at the next traffic light or jam.

If you drive slowly to the next light with your foot on the gas the whole time, you're using more gas. If you get up to speed then coast down, you use less gas.
