We drive a 2018 CRV EX-L mostly in short trips (under 15 miles) and average around 29 mpg (sticker is 28 city; 34 highway; 30 combined). The only time we got the 34 highway was on long interstate runs and then it was 34.6 mpg (Texas at 75-80 speed limit). The car readout runs from 1.0 to 3.0 mpg higher than calculation. I coast in neutral when approaching a stop sign or a red light. I don't know what it's doing to the CVT (metal push belt) with all that shifting to neutral and back to drive, but I'll know in the next year or so. Only have 28k miles because of the lockdown. Realize that I only do half the mileage...spouse (ol' lead foot) drives the other half.
