The 2016 Honda CR-V is sold in the U.S. with gasoline power. The EPA lists 2 configurations for this model year, with combined economy from 27 to 29 MPG and an estimated annual fuel cost of $2,250 to $2,400 at 15,000 miles.

Key numbers

What it costs to fuel

Across its configurations, the 2016 CR-V costs about $2,250 to $2,400 a year to fuel at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis, averaging roughly $2,325. Over five years that is about $11,625 in fuel alone before maintenance, insurance and depreciation — which is why the running cost, not just the price, decides what a car really costs.

Relative to an average new vehicle, the most efficient CR-V configuration saves about $250 in fuel over five years; less efficient versions spend more.

For context, the average combined economy of small sport utility vehicle 2wd in this dataset is about 26 MPG. The CR-V sits roughly 2 MPG above that mark at its midpoint, making it more efficient than average for its EPA class.
