I was floored when I filled up my tank for the first time since it came from the dealer this noon. I let it run until the gas light came on and was able to squeek out 340 miles. From the dealership this past Saturday, some highway, some aggressive driving, some city, I got 39.1 mpg! I was not expecting that at! WOW. I was thinking with a new engine, no steady speeds and the mix of driving it would be less. But 39.1mpg....that's AWESOME!!!! Very, very happy.

First tank was 31 mpg in almost entirely city and rush hour highway (stop/go). Second tank today with about 40% 70 mph cruising and the rest in city (or stop/go highway) driving was 34.5 mpg.

I was a bit alarmed by the first tank. I filled up after about half a tank from the dealer. I have no idea if it was actually full or not, but my next tank, 8.xx gallons, I got only 27.5 mpg. I am unsure what happened, but on this new tank (only 423 miles on the car) things are looking better, more than 80 miles on less than a quarter tank, so I am excited what the milage will turn out to be.

Hey Lecrack! Looks like you beat me getting your Fit! I still don't know when I will get one. The Dealer is still "Looking". I'm not in the midwest. According to the dealer "Fits are selling out nationwide". I realize this. But I am getting impatient.

i think youll get a better read on your mileage by using up a whole tank, then doing a fill. how full you previously filled and how you top off the next tank will never be exactly the same, but by using up most of a tank you decrease the effect of those two uncertain variables. heck, you probably could have only used about 1 tank for 423 miles.

That's a good call. i am going to run this one down until the low fuel light, then do a fill to get a better read.

190 mile estimate = 37mpg US. All town, lots of small trips, pick up drop off, shopping, stopped in rush hour- 30min, side streets etc. Over all, since new, including initial run in, about 38.76.

I have a sport, manual transmission. With about 600 miles on it, I am barely averaging 32 miles a gallon and this with a lot of highway miles. The last half tank was all city and I got only 25 miles to the gallon. I drive pretty gingerly and without air to date. I am not only disappointed in the mileage, but perplexed at some of the incredible mileages being posted here. Is it possible for individual cars to be that different. Do I have a lemon? Besides that I am in LOVE with this car!

Yes, I'd be disappointed, too, with that mileage, given how conservatively you've been driving it. Do you drive in a particularly hilly or high-elevation area, by any chance? Anyway, your mileage should improve as the engine is broken in; hopefully the improvement you see will be significant!
