    I never tracked the MPG back when gas was cheaper. But, this spring I was doing a 50 mile round trip to a work site, with about 60% highway (staying under the 65 speed limit).
    30% of the back roads were up and down some good sized hills.
    If the speed limit was 35 or 40 on the back roads, that was my speed.

    I was getting up to 32 MPG on those trips, with an average of about 31.2
    MPG. Which is a lot better than EPA.

    When I started my mods, my goal was 35 MPG highway. That was easy.
    I hit 36 a few times doing all highway loops (w/o a lot of hills).

    In the real world, it's the red lights and stop signs that kills MPG..

    IIRC, my highway MPG when the CRV was new was around 28 MPG..
    Of course back then, I was a lead-foot..

    Thank you for the welcome. I have the 1.6L engine and 4 speed automatic transmission. What mods have you done? You're on with the 60 mpg challenge.
