Replying to: roxy11 (Oct 18, 2009 4:41 am) Quite correct on one point, roxy--there is approximately 10% error on the fuel economy gauge. Even so, my best (42.4 mpg on the gauge) is a pump/odometer calculated 39.0 mpg, which is still 20% above the 33 mpg EPA highway rating.

Replying to: roxy11 (Oct 18, 2009 4:41 am) In my case roxy, I am finding that the EPA numbers in case of the Honda Fit is very pessimistic. I consistently got better than EPA highway numbers, in mixed driving in my 08 Fit. Remember this is MIXED city + Highway driving that is better than the EPA's highway number.....the EPA city number is something I don't think I could ever get, unless I park somewhere with the engine switched on the whole time.   I am finding that the 09 Honda Fit is also continuing the trend in getting me better mileage in MIXED driving than the EPA's Highway number.   PS: I have not been able to better the highway mileage number for my other 7-seater vehicle (09 Subaru Tribeca) however, and I am solidly between the City and Highway number with the same type of driving as the Honda Fit (majority of the driving in the City with a lot of stop and go and a little bit of highway mixed in). I am hoping that the Tribeca's number will improve as I accumulate more miles (currently at approximately 1500 miles).

New on May 2, 2006. Now over 75K miles. Oil and filter changes. Michelin Pilot Sport Tires at 55K - worth every penny. Rear wiper blade. That's it. 80% highway/20% city on 80 mile/day commute. Consistently over 35 mpg. Worst mpg 32.5, best 41 mpg. Pedal to the metal accelerating, I don't exceed 70 mph when up to speed though it easily tops 100 mph (don't ask). Luv my little buddy still. Aftermarket stuff - Installed Sirius Stiletto 10, KIWI mpg meter, Honda rubber mats, Honda rear cargo cover, and that big fat Honda chrome exhaust tip.   Over a year ago a Tahoe with a trailer backing up scraped and dented my rear door in a parking lot boo boo. Body shop ordered a new door skin from California and the silver paint matched well. No problems. Getting a little brake pedal shake if stopping hard, which I will have inspected soon.
