1st tank on new 09 Fit Sport AT was 34.1 mpg (calculated)... 100 miles highway + 231 miles mix of rural roads and city Not sure the dealership topped the tank as full as I did, so 0.5 gals less and I would have had 36 mpg. Hoping the 2nd tank is better and the 3rd even better. I filled it up after the Need Gas icon lit up and it took 9.7 gallons (which I think means I still had 1 gallon in the tank). Is that consistent with other 09 Fit owners experience? Just wondering how far I dare go once the gas icon comes on.

| Man I love this car. Using manual calculations (computer seems to always be 2-3mpg high) I have had an overall average of 38.5 mpg with a 50/50 mix of city and highway. Best tank 41, worst 34. worst tank was fully loaded beach trip with family, dog, and a weeks worth of junk. Just clicked to 60% oil life. cant wait to do the first change. | |

I've had my new Fit exactly a week today and have 950 miles on it. First tank (dealer fill up) was 34.6 mpg (calculated) covering 40% city and 60% highway (200 miles round trip on tollway). 2nd tank was calculated at 40.7 mpg (car's computer said 42.3 mpg) and was all driving around home (live in the country) .... 7 miles to work on rural roads and 15 miles to town on rural roads and highway. I just put 250 miles on it today .. all highway miles with cruise control set at 65 mph and the mpgs look like they're going to be down from the 2nd tank as the car's computer is showing 39.4 mpg and I covered less miles on the first half tank of gas. I'm making the same round trip tomorrow and it will be interesting to compare the mpgs as I plan to not use the cruise tomorrow to see if it makes a difference. Mostly flat land here in Illinois, but some hills which made the AT shift down to 4th. Anyone else have opinion and/or experience on whether or not using cruise control effects mpg? I drove in the rain on the way home tonight and had to use the defrost setting to clear the inside of windshield. Would that effect mpg much as it causes compressor to work? |

Replying to: baddog2 (Oct 23, 2008 7:31 pm) The last week or two, I've made two road trips from Houston to Austin. First one I got 44.38 mpg, and got 43.43 yesterday. I didnt think 40 mpg was possible in the car! Both trips only used 7-8 gallons, so I'm still shooting to break 40 over a full tank, maybe a trip to Dallas will do it.

Replying to: boord1 (Oct 27, 2008 9:12 am) Did you check your tire pressure? I just bought my new Fit Sport auto for a week or so. After less than 200 miles the low tire pressure light came up. I checked all 4 and all of them had only 25 psi in it. Damn dealers! I was initially wondering why my mileage was so low - about 30 mpg in mostly stop and go local traffic (ok i know it's not too low and it's brand new but I was expecting better). I haven't driven enough after I fill up the air to factory recommended setting (33 psi) but I think my mileage should be normal now. |
