You mentioned that your 39.7mpg was based on what the computer told you. Did you do any manual calculations because pretty much everyone here indicates that computer is high by at least 10% and 39.7mpg at 80-85mph sounds high. I'd guess that your actual mpg was closer to 35mpg, but that's still good for the speeds you were going.

Now 63K miles, running very strong.
 
Getting an avg of 33MPG driving ~120 miles/day, 80% freeway. Still have original tires, tread still legal, but intend to toss 65K miles.
 
Just got my FIT shop manual from HelmInc today so I'll be changing out my timing belt about 70K miles.
 
BTW, I also just got the shop manual for my refurbished '86 CRX HF (after 23 years) today I've owned since new, 310K miles, still runs as good as new, 43 MPG, 155# flat.

I did not do the math, but you are probably about right.

I thought that the Fit used the timing chain, not a belt.

According to the nice boys at 1ST Texas Honda, the Fit has a timing chain and it should last a couple of 100,000 miles.

I have a 2009 sport 5AT with 1300 miles. For may daily commute (50 mi RT) I am averaging about 36.5 MPG. I just took a 250 mile road trip, about half interstate and half on state hiways. I averaged 39.5 MPG on that. I am by no means a "hyper-miler", but I have learned to stay close to posted speed limits, "eggshell accelerate", and to better time traffic signals to avoid stopping.

computer calculated mileage high by daver4

Does anyone know why the computer calculates higher mileage than hand calculated? I asked the local Honda service manager. His answer implied that he had no idea!
