Monthly Update for June 2017 - 2017 Honda CR-V Long-Term Road Test

"This particular dealership slipped in a bottle of zMAX engine treatment, which added $20 to the bill"... WHAT??? Did you authorize them to do that? If they did that, I'd tell them to take it off my bill or I'm never coming back and leaving bad feedback on all surveys for them (which at least for my Honda Dealer is their biggest fear).

That's on me Kirkhilles. I was catching up with a friend that day and didn't pay attention to the bill. I didn't notice the additive until I was filling out my expense report. I should have caught it. I'll be more careful next time. -Ron Montoya

Surprised
Honda allows them to add engines treatment.

I will take the slightly noisier Honda with it's 27.2 mpg average over the Ford Escapes 20.9 mpg average.

My 2017 CR-V has less than 1000 mi., getting about 27 mpg per tankful of mix driving; worse typically filling the small 11 gallon not completely empty tank. Much worse than our Camry hybrid ~40+ mpg and X3 diesel in the high 30’s which we get 500 to 580 mi per tank for both.

That tank holds 14 gallons.
