Honda CR-V gas mileage in Tulsa: fuel economy by trim and drive
A new Honda CR-V gets about 29 to 30 mpg combined with the gas engine and about 37 to 40 with the hybrid, with front-wheel drive rating a point or three higher than all-wheel drive in each case. Those are EPA ratings for the 2026 model year, and South Pointe Honda sells the CR-V in south Tulsa. EPA rates each powertrain and drive combination separately, so the choice comes down to how you drive: mostly in town, mostly on the highway, or through Tulsa winters.

What gas mileage does the Honda CR-V get in Tulsa?
For the 2026 model year, EPA rates the front-wheel drive hybrid highest of the CR-V’s five configurations, at 43 city, 36 highway and 40 combined.
Those numbers come from a lab test, not a Tulsa road test. Automakers test a representative vehicle over 5 defined test cycles on a dynamometer, and EPA audits the manufacturer’s data and independently confirms roughly 15% of results at its NVFEL facility (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2026). The all-wheel drive hybrid rates 40, 34 and 37, and the TrailSport (hybrid, all-wheel drive) rates 38, 33 and 35.
Honda CR-V mpg by trim: LX, EX, EX-L, Sport, Sport-L, Sport Touring and TrailSport
The table gives city, highway and combined mpg for each drive and powertrain, so you can read your own configuration across. Starting MSRP runs from $30,920 for the LX (2WD) to $42,550 for the Sport Touring Hybrid (AWD), and the lowest-priced hybrid is the Sport Hybrid (2WD) at $35,630.
| Configuration | City | Highway | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| CR-V gas, front-wheel drive | 28 | 33 | 30 |
| CR-V gas, all-wheel drive | 27 | 31 | 29 |
| CR-V hybrid, front-wheel drive | 43 | 36 | 40 |
| CR-V hybrid, all-wheel drive | 40 | 34 | 37 |
| TrailSport (hybrid, all-wheel drive) | 38 | 33 | 35 |
The combined number is not a simple average. EPA weights the city figure 55% and the highway figure 45% (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2026). That is why a hybrid’s large city advantage shows up more in the combined number than its smaller highway lead.
How much mpg does AWD cost on a Honda CR-V?
Front-wheel drive rates a point higher combined on gas, 30 against 29, and three higher as a hybrid, 40 against 37. For a Tulsa driver the question is whether ice days and wet roads are worth that gap. Tulsa averages 8.7 inches of snow a year on NOAA’s normals (NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, 1991 to 2020 normals).
All-wheel drive also costs more at the start. The LX (AWD) starts at $32,420 against $30,920 for the LX (2WD), and the Sport Hybrid (AWD) starts at $37,130 against $35,630 for the Sport Hybrid (2WD). A buyer weighing the snow against the price has a clear trade to make.
Is the Honda CR-V Hybrid worth it for Tulsa stop-and-go driving?
Best for: drivers who spend most of their miles in town, where the 43 city rating does the work.
Choose it if: you want the highest combined rating in the CR-V lineup, 40 mpg for the front-wheel drive hybrid.
Watch out for: the highway gap. The front-wheel drive hybrid’s 36 highway is only a few points above the 33 of the gas model with the same drive, far smaller than its city lead.
The hybrid’s city rating is where the savings come from. Congestion cost the average Tulsa auto commuter $928 in 2024 (Texas A&M Transportation Institute, 2025), and that stop-and-go driving is what the hybrid’s city figure measures. The Sport Hybrid (2WD) starts at $35,630, against $30,920 for the LX (2WD).
What mpg does the CR-V get on the highway to Oklahoma City?
On the highway, the gas CR-V rates 31 mpg with all-wheel drive and 33 with front-wheel drive, and the hybrid rates 34 and 36.
The hybrid’s lead narrows on a long run. Its all-wheel drive version rates 34 on the highway against 31 for gas, while its city rating is 40 against 27. Buyers who drive mostly on the highway should weigh the highway figures above the combined number.
How much does fuel cost per year in a gas versus hybrid CR-V?
EPA lists the annual fuel cost at $1,550 for the front-wheel drive hybrid and $2,100 for its gas counterpart (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2026). The all-wheel drive hybrid costs $1,700 a year, the gas model with all-wheel drive $2,150, and the TrailSport (hybrid, all-wheel drive) $1,800.
Set those figures beside the starting prices in the sections above. The hybrid costs more to buy and less to run, and the annual figures show how much of the price gap the fuel bill starts to close.

Frequently asked questions
Does the CR-V TrailSport Hybrid get worse mileage than other hybrid trims?
EPA rates the TrailSport (hybrid, all-wheel drive) at 38 city, 33 highway and 35 combined. The all-wheel drive hybrid rates 40, 34 and 37, so the TrailSport gives up mpg on each line.
Can I trade in my current car toward a new CR-V in Tulsa?
Yes. You can request an online trade-in offer, which is valid for seven days or up to 250 miles, and trade-ins with negative equity are accepted.
How do I get a CR-V delivered to my home in Tulsa?
Through Acceleride, a new vehicle can be bought online and delivered. We ship cars out of state, and we can deliver new or pre-owned vehicles to the buyer’s driveway.
Why is my Honda CR-V mpg so low?
Start by comparing your number with the EPA rating for your exact powertrain and drive, because EPA rates each combination separately. A gas CR-V with front-wheel drive rates 28 city, 33 highway and 30 combined, and with all-wheel drive it rates 27, 31 and 29, so an all-wheel drive gas model will always read a little lower. Those ratings come from a lab test, not a Tulsa road test, so your own mix of stop-and-go and highway driving can land above or below them. If most of your miles are in town, the front-wheel drive hybrid’s 43 city rating is the largest gain in the lineup.
