My First Tank MPG - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

2000LaDe · 05-11-2011, 01:50 AM

so i decided to write down everything based on the full tank the dealership gave me before i drove the car off the lot. i reset the trip meter and off i went. this driving was about half highway and half city so its about right. i know i went about 65 miles averaging just under 50mpg because i was on back roads doing 45mph and highway going 60mph with no stops.

but my stats. im keeping a log on every fill up and stuff that i do.

8.809 gallons
$36.90 @ $4.189/g
337.8 miles @ 38.0MPG on the dash
Actual = 38.34MPG

pretty happy about that. i am used to driving a crx dx and civic dx hatchbacks getting 25-35mpg at best. so far i love this car. its comfortable. drives great. gets great gas mileage. so far nothing to dislike about it.

*cheers*

Hi Hank, welcome. I'd love to hear more about your previous CRX. Everyone seems to measure the 'failure' of the CR-Z based on the CRX and the mileage it was supposed to get back in the day. Is yours modded in some way? I thought those were supposed to be MPG wonders (again judging from all the hate spewed at CR-Z mileage)?

The crx hf was about the only one to get better mpg than the crz. It had such long gears and it weighed 1/2 of what a crz does. If you were to strip a crz to the same weight as an old crx I don't see how it wouldn't be pushing 50mpg on a regular basis. My automatic crx dx got the best mileage out of all my civic hatches and crx's. Ranging from 1988-1991.

I can sacrifice the better ride for the same fuel mileage of an old civic that weighs nothing plus I feel much safer in my car.

I've had boosted and ls swapped civics and crx's too.
