poor gas mileage
Love the car - bought Dec. 06. But gas mileage dreadful - under 20 mpg. Improved after air filter changed, but back to low miles again. Is this standard? I have about 25M miles on the car. My 99 Odyssey was better than the CRV on mpg.

You should be getting somewhere between 23 and 29 mpg. You have at least 3 options that I can think of.
1. Change your driving habbits. Fast starts and "flooring it" will hurt your mpg worse than anything.
2. Change your fuel source. You might be getting a poor grade of fuel based on lowest price.
3. Add a bottle of fuel injector cleaner to your fuel tank once every other month. This might clean out the deposits that are robbing your mpg.
Good luck!
