I drive a 2017 1.5T Civic also with a CVT which maybe has the same engine as your CRV. I tried a lot of coasting in N but I have the feeling that it doesn't change the fuel consumption at all.

Yes I try. EPA is 28/34. I think Fuelly gives the average as 26 for regular drivers. I live on flat land by the Gulf, so the biggest hill is the bridge to Corpus Christi. I normally get 28 to 31 around town and slightly more (33) at 75 on the highway. These are calculated values; the car says a little over 2 mpg more than calculated. My high for a trip over 50 miles is 41 (20 mph tail wind); my low is 24 (headwind). Now we're into winter gas so it won't be very high for a while.
BTW I tried going 55 (minimum allowed) on the highway, and won't do it again. MPG was at 38, but the traffic was worrisome. Highway speeds in Texas are 75 to 80 mph.
