Poor mileage
I have a 2003 CR-V which I've owned since 2010 and it's now 2019. I have to admit I
haven't been tracking the mileage, but it seemed bad lately so I tracked it and I only got
14.75 MPG around town and that is with the A/C on all the time (it hasn't been super hot,
but the car feels more comfy with it on). I usually put the cheapest gas in it. This is
unacceptable to me. I'll try the additive people are suggesting, but I doubt it will make a
difference. I'll even try a better grade of gasoline and see what happens. A couple mos.
ago it went into "limp mode" and it was 'cuz the emissions system needed work. Evidently
that didn't help the mileage. I notice a difference now in the gas pedal. Hard to explain, but
it's like the car "gulps" occasionally. Maybe one of you mechanics knows what I mean.
Thinking this new thing may be making the mileage worse. I'm sure the repair shop won't
be any help.
