Honda CRV Fuel Economy by godwinasky: 3:02pm On Sep 30, 2016
Hello guys!

Please i need solution to my Honda CRV's excessive fuel consumption. It has a fuel tank capacity of about 60 litres, and i have observed that it runs about 200 miles or 320 km at that.

The oxygen sensors, spark plugs, catalyst converter( indomine) have been changed, and the nozzles where serviced. Asides, i do petrol treatment and use injector cleaner for every 80l of fuel. I don't use AC because of this, and i don't drive beyond 120 km/ hr most times and my tires are usually well-inflated.

So, i wonder what i could do to improve the gas milleage of the car. I would really appreciate ideas on this.

Thank you very much guys, and happy independence day in advance!!

1)let them check the IATS = the intake air temperature sensor if it is properly fixed
and wipe dust / sooth dat could have gathered on it
2) if the thermostat is still there, immediately below the lower radiator hose.
3) if the water coolant temperature sensor,= around the upper radiator hose, two sensors, one with one wire, the other with two wires, if the wires are fixed properly. the sensors can be unbolted and taken out to scrape any dirt or sludge on it so as to enhance quick and proper functioning.
4) the intake air filter = inside d intake air box, be removed and cleaned or replaced.
5) Google all sensors mentioned above so u have a comprehensive knowledge of how they look like and their functions.

320km on 60 liters doesn't look too bad to me. What year is your CRV? Have you factored in Lagos traffic is a major fuel drainer?

Gazzuzz, it is a 1998 model!
@ lawsta, thanks a lot, I d check that out.
@ lolo, the car plies Kaduna roads which are a lot better than Lagos roads.

Also, do not use ac , and there is no over- heating issue!

Good day Guys,

is there any correlation between fuel level sensor and fuel consumption?
my Honda CR-V 02 had a faulty level sensor and my rewire removed it to search for a replacement but to my amusement, the 25L fuel in filled in my car finished on a 33km road which is unusual.

Unless vehicle is dripping fuel this is not possible.

Do you by any chance do car inspection?

I want to get a CRV and I need someone with experience to help inspect it.

Your CRV should do 8.5 km per litre. But you are doing 3.5 to 5km per litre.
Has your car always been doing this when you bought it?
Did you do any fixes to your car and then later notice it's consuming too much fuel?
Finally scan the car and post the results here for proper diagnosis.
