Question:
Hi everyone. I am a happy owner of Honda CR-V 1997. It used to give me around 28MPG on average. It suddenly went down to about 20MPG. What could be the reason? I know there could be a lot of factors but such a sudden drop? Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

Check your tire pressure and keep it as high as you can within the vehicle specification. Low tire pressure will increase the rolling resistance of the tires and lower mileage.I have a 1997 plymouth grand voyager that you have to try to start a 100 times before it starts.?
Check your air filter. If it's plugged up, change it.
Re my previous question please note info should read 1998 Rav 4 not 1988?
If you haven't had a tune up lately, get one.
Hopefully it's something simple.
Good Luck

How do I clean oil out of the floorboard of my car.?
A few things could have done this, dirty clogged air filter, bad oxygen sensors will do it...... maybe its time for a tuneup.... also if the check engine light is on get your computer read by an OBD reader. I had a Blazer that got 9mpg.... I changed the oxygen sensors (3) of them, and my mileage went upto 16mpg.does any one know of a good honest front end repair shop for a 2003 grand caravan.?

You might need an oil change or a tune up. Talk to your local mechanic, or dealer. They might be able to point you in the right direction. You may even have a leak!How do I replace a flexplate, flexiplate?
A lot of states put alcohol in the gas during the winter. Doesn't get as good of MPG. Since it got cold have you checked the air pressure in your tires? When you run the defroster the A/C compressor will run. That can cut mileage too.bad spark plugs
defective oxy sensor
clogged air filter
defective EGR

change the oil and the oil filter, and gas filter, and a tune up and u should get more gas milage than wat u used to get. good luck =]How long has it been since you had it tuned up?
tune up, spark plugs, air filter- they seem to be it for me when my gas mileage changes.
Maybe it needs a good tune up, or, new tires?

All the advice is good maybe a locking gas cap too. If they just take a gallom or two it will fool you into thinking bad mileage.What do to about my 94 intrepids transmission?
Wrong grade of gasoline.Plugs are fouling.
Distributor cap is loose and causing weak firings.
Water in the gasoline.
Engine needs to be rebuilt because it is losing compression from worn rings.
You might have a head gasket about to blow. Look for water or antifreeze in the tailpipe if that is occurring slowly. You can wad up a piece of newspaper or papertowel and swab the inside of the tailpipe to check for it. The soot is normal, btw.
You might have loose sparkplug wires. They look connected, but aren't.
Fuel mixture is incorrect. Tune the carburetor time.
Air filter need changing.
Take off the emergency brake when driving. : p
the fuel they use in the winter can reduce it,maybe somebody stole some or if full serve it didnt get put in or where you bought it there pumps are off,thats too big of a drop for even needing a tune up,check your math
