Car Forum / Honda Cars / February 200784-87 Honda CRX mileage
I am trying to find out which year and exactly the gas mileage of the CRX that got the great 60? mpg mileage in the middle 80s. Also a place to get mileage info of other cars would be good too.

Guess they only tested certain models, and maybe the old CRX didn't sell in high enough volume to warrant the expenditure.

Hmm.... never thought of that. I thought they tested them as soon as they were available. >Thanks, I checked that. They don't have the early CRXs listed. Why is that? EPA fuel economy reporting changed. In 1985, the current methodology of reducing the tested numbers by 10% for city and 22% for highway was used. For 1978-1979, the unadjusted test numbers were reported. There may have been other differences from 1980-1984. In all cases, the test was the same, but the reporting differed.

These would be the venerable 1984 Civic CRX 1.3 liter, which did an EPA rated 51/67 MPG city/Hwy, or the 1984 Civic CRX 1.5 liter, which did 52/57. (I think both were 5-speed manuals). Sad to see Honda touting ~50 mpg Civic Hybrids more than 2 decades later........ > I am trying to find out which year and exactly the gas mileage of the CRX that > got the great 60? mpg mileage in the middle 80s.

Why pay $25000 for a new hybrid when you could buy a used CRX for 2500 or less. And of course they should be way farther ahead than they are now. >> I am trying to find out which year and exactly the gas mileage of the CRX that >> got the great 60? mpg mileage in the middle 80s.

JT How about Honda's first attempt at building a car for the US market: the 1972 600 Sedan and Coupe? They claimed 54mpg highway, as I recall. I owned one briefly in 1977. Zero to 60 in about five minutes. :)) >How about Honda's first attempt at building a car for the US market: >the 1972 600 Sedan and Coupe?

You would think it would do better than that. Also it has plenty of power for its size. |
