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. |

I have consistantly achieved 39 to 42 mpg. I do this by occasionally coasting down hills when the oppurtunity exists. I coast to many stop signs and red lights, again when oppurtunity exists. I keep my tire pressure up around 40 to 45 psi and regularly rotate the tires(about every 3000 to 4000 miles) I have 18k miles on the car. I always get 400 miles on the trip odometer prior to refueling, unless of coarse I have to get gas when available. When I fill up after 400 on the trip odometer I generally put in 10.03 gallons I change the oil, I put a Fujita cold air intake on and drive with a light foot 60 to 63 on the highway. Faster than that, mileage will go down. I'm happy with it. I recently have had the air bag SRS light on constantly. I will get it looked at when I'm back near the dealer. |

| MPG in my 09 Sport Fit steadily decreased to an average of 34 mpg. After reading an earlier post, I finally checked the tire pressure: 27 psi on each tire! (no sensor warning). Amazingly, I didn't think about checking this earlier. It's too bad the Honda tire pressure sensors don't measure and display pressure. Imagine how much fuel could be saved if all cars had this. | |

Not much action here of late. Anyone have an update on their '09 mileage?

I live in So Cal where, I think, all gas is now 10% EtOH. Lifetime mileage on my '04 Prius is somewhere around 44 mpg. I am swapping the Prius for an '09 Fit though this next week and now will not be so disappointed if I end up just hitting EPA. |
