Replying to: boord1 (Oct 27, 2008 9:12 am) ... " I can't get past 33MPG." ...   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.
#2280 of 2432 2008 manual sport mileage by jazzbo2 Oct 29, 2008 (5:45 pm)
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.
#2281 of 2432 Check Your Tire Pressure!! by ak_fit Oct 31, 2008 (9:22 am)
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? Replies to this message: pf_flyer (Nov 08, 2008 5:54 am) baddog2 (Nov 10, 2008 7:34 pm) tonyspumoni (Nov 10, 2008 8:39 pm)

Replying to: tonyspumoni (Nov 07, 2008 7:58 pm) I suspect we're going to hear more reports of less than perfect mileage as ethanol blends spread. I know I'm taking an 8-10% hit in mileage because of ethanol. So are a lot of others.   The Inconvenient Truth About Ethanol
#2284 of 2432 SoCal gas might explain my poor Prius mileage then by tonyspumoni Nov 08, 2008 (3:07 pm)
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.

Replying to: tonyspumoni (Nov 08, 2008 3:07 pm) Curious as to why you are swapping the Prius for a Fit.   Thanks, Kip Replies to this message: tonyspumoni (Nov 09, 2008 9:02 pm) kipk (Nov 10, 2008 5:20 am)

Replying to: tonyspumoni (Nov 08, 2008 3:07 pm) I'm not sure if you can hit EPA numbers now unless they've been revised down to account for ethanol. Due to a combination of driving style and conditions I had always gotten EPA numbers on my vehicles all the time. My 2007 Versa was rated at 30 city and 36 highway and I was pretty much on those numbers, typically getting 32 - 33 in combined driving. That held up until the introduction of ethanol which dropped me to the 28- 30 range.
#2287 of 2432 Mileage update by byron2 Nov 09, 2008 (7:57 pm)
'09 Sport AT. Car now has 920 miles on it. Last tank was 29.3 mpg per the computer. Mostly driving on the hilly San Francisco Peninsula with one trip to UC Davis.   Not bad, but what is a bit disappointing is that my '03 Accord EX 4-dr manual routinely gets 27 mpg driving in the same hilly area. I bought it new 5.5 years ago and the worse mileage I have ever experienced on a tank (I round to the nearest mpg) is 25 mpg. Since new I have had four tanks at 25 mpg and all others have been higher, with 27 the routine average. The highest has been 34 mpg driving back from Vegas last year. As far as power goes the Fit is ok but my Accord feels like a top fueler in comparison. I hope the Fit get more frugal as it breaks in. Byron
