| Hi, First post here, just picked up new Fit on Sat 6/14/08. First fill up it took 8 gallons and worked out to almost exactly 38 mpg, am almost halfway thru second tank and if gas gauge is accurate am looking at about same. I would say my driving is about 75% highway and 25% city. Love the car, a base model automatic. Artie | |

I've kept careful record of all gas put into my 2008 Base Model 5sd Manual Fit since we bought it on April 18, including the dealer fill which I estimated generously at 10.8 gallons, since that is the size of the tank. The car has been driven by two drivers, with different driving styles. Approximately 1700 miles have been on the highway, without cruise control, at a wide variety of highway speeds. The rest has been around town on short trips and a twelve mile round-trip daily commute. At 4339 miles, with the fuel needle on E, and several miles into the warning fuel light (so the tank was essentially empty), we have used 118 gallons of gas, for a comprehensive of 36.6 mpg. We're pleased. |

We have a 2007 Fit Sport AT, with now onver 55,000 miles (and only 23 months old!) For the first 1/2 years we were happy with 30/32 MPG everyday, and about 36 on long freeway trips. After reading about Hypermiling, we started really watching our starts & stops, trying to time the redlights, and setting our cruise at 55 on freeways, even in a 70 zone. Just came back from a weeklong camping trip in Maine, with the back loaded to the ceiling with our gear. Average per tank was 44.5MPG, with a high of 45.8. Even in Acadia National Park, with all it's mountains we got 37. We are quite happy with the greatly improved mileage. The thousands of cars that pass us may not be, but they don't buy our gas!

Just purchased a 2008 Fit Sport with the 5 speed manual. We have been through a few tanks of fuel so far and our MPG is: 1st tank: 32.52 from the dealer fill up 2nd tank: 40.47 3rd tank: 39.16 I don't do anything different to obtain this mileage from my last car, I drive the speed limit, anticipate stop lights and stop signs. Accelerate slowly when traffic allows and have our tires pumped up to 40 PSI which seems to be a good compromise between MPG and ride comfort. I am thrilled with the MPG results so far and love the car.

Now I am even more bummed with these recent high-mileage posts. I have about 1900 miles on my base AT, and I am still only getting 26mpg at best, lowest was 22. Admittedly, A/C is always on (live in Tucson, it is 110 degrees here daily) and mostly city, but I was really hoping to get better than EPA estimates based on this board.  To those who got significantly better mileage after break-in, at what mileage did you "break-in"?
