United States Auto Club published findings from their 4-car transcontinental mpg run and was available at HONDA showrooms in 1984.
The four CRXs returned between 54.0 mpg and 86.3 mpg for a 32.3 mpg scatter.
They averaged 71.627 mpg.These were 49-state low altitude cars.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the April,1984 Motor Trend,they reported:
*51.9 mpg for the 1.3 high-altitude CRX
*59.3 mpg for the California-spec CRX
*64.76 mpg for the Federal-spec CRX

The 7 hp figure must be for only aero power absorption at 55 mph.
