Our (really DW's) new Honda CRV does not get the mileage as stated on the sticker. It's averaging about 23 overall. I'll garantee you that if I did all the driving, it would be getting 26 or 27 mpg. Why? DW's driving habits. Not that she drives fast, rather from a dead stop she wants it going 35-40mph right now. Too much lead foot from the light or stop sign. I like to drive by the tachometer, never letting the needle go over 3000rpm. An expert once said, drive as if there is an egg between your foot and the accelerator. In DW's case, there would be scrambled eggs all over the floor mats. I don't say much as she gets irritated and stays pi**ed the rest of the day. For the miles we drive in a year, it's not worth the bother. I'm not going to change her.
