05 Honda CRV - CTDi (2.2 Litre) Fuel Consumption (problem?)
 

Just picked up my new Honda CTD i 2.2 Sport (05 model). Delighted
with a responsive/spacious/ well designed vechile.

Only one thing - I'm only getting around 33mpg. Is this normal? What
is anyone else getting with this model. I'd expected better to be
honest.

Cool ! What country are you in. It's hard to guess when you say (Imp?)
gallons.

Do you mean new as in less than 100 miles on the clock?
Wait until you have 1000+ miles, or better yet 3000-8000+ miles on the
clock and then start measuring. A new engine, more so a diesel, needs
to "run in" before it starts to perform properly.
Also if you do mostly town driving you will not see much improvement
over a petrol engine. Diesels forte is motorway cruising.

Hi, sorry vehicle is new to me its got 8,500 miles on the clock so
this shouldnt be a problem. Only seem to get 33 miles per gallon on
the motorway too, though typically do 70/80 mph. Any one else get
more on the same model?
