These tests are awesome! 95% of my driving is on the highway in Florida. The EPA really needs to change the way they test highway mileage, what a scam

Just wanted to say, I respect the hell out of your reviews. Lots of valuable in-depth info that deserves more views.

I need help with Road noise on passenger seats.
Mazda CX5 Turbo Signature vs Honda Sports L Hybrid AWD?
Which has better sound deadening?

2024 crv hybrid L sport fwd northern california 39.3 mpg. only use heat or defog if needed. normally only use seat warmers or open the moon roof if it is too warm.

On my FWD Sport during a road trip to Las Vegas from Los Angeles I averaged 37.5mpg going out and 38.5 coming back. So there is definitely a gain to fuel economy on the lower trip. Also, I believe the Sport has 18" wheels while the Sport Touring rides on 19"

This is great! We just got a 2025 CRV Hybrid 2WD and most of our local highways are 45 or 55 mph. So I’m hopeful that we’ll continue to average over 40 mpg!

Great test. I don't own one yet but am strongly considering buying one. My commute is about 50 highway miles each way, so this test would be repeated over and over. It's clear the CRV Hybrid SUV doesn't crush the competition in MPG numbers, and the additional cost for the Hybrid would not be recouped over the non-hybrid if only my commute MPG was considered. Hears the thing though, i usually found myself upgrading to the larger engine variant for most vehicles I have purchased. The larger engine variant is always at least $2k more and will loose several MPG, but it just feels better to drive. If the driving dynamics during your first and last mile of the commute and the weekend jaunts make you enjoy the vehicle more, it is likely worth the 'upgrade' cost.

I love my 2023 crv hybrid, I only did the base sport and opted out of the touring trim but love it

[bzaclassic]

What app are you using for the speedometer?

[dmockracey]

After 3000 miles I'm getting 36mpg on the awd hybrid. You could get better depending on how you drive.

[MrLevicrz]

I shared my experience with low highway MPG on reddit and CRV owners justified my 30-32 MPG because im "on the highway".

[johnc]

I own one if these and very happy with my purchase. Like you said in the beginning, i do get better milegae in Normal mode for some reason.

Have you guys done a Subaru Forester sport?

[bradhaughton]

Even I did a mini test on my 2010 Subaru Forester with half a tank from work to see how far I can go at 70 mph mine had the roof rack from Thule and on Continental crosscontact LX25 Tires with that many tests I did a total of 250 miles and that in a time span of four hours and MPG for all of that with 18.9 Mi to the gallon

I’d be curious for you to do the same loop but use the factory navigation. Since it’s predictive and see if your highway number goes up.

[bapissamee]

as someone who drives a 2011 odyssey, 35 mpg is a great upgrade from say 18-21 mpg nowadays

[luisfermin]

So I guess that if it is combine it would get to 500 miles since you will be using the by runs motor ?

[WoWdOm]

Im getting over 41 mpg in my Sport touring. 80% city 20% highway.

[JWFas]

The Sport Touring hybrid has 19-inch wheels and AWD standard, so I wouldn't expect it to perform the best for fuel economy. I'd be interested to see the same test with the Sport-L hybrid 2WD version.

[positronhaberdashery]

I drive a last generation CRV for my work and I drive on the freeway a lot and I average 36 MPG
So the hybrid might get better fuel mileage if you drive a lot of street. But it's weird that the regular CRV last generation gets better fuel economy on the freeway
