Replying to: ifit (Feb 18, 2008 9:59 am) Seems a bit extreme just so the AC doesn't come on in defrost mode.   As far as Fit and Civic MPG, you'll find as many happy/unhappy Fit owners as you will Civic owners with respect to their MPG. Some really good, some really bad, but most in the middle. The only difference is that Fit owners can hold a lot more stuff in their car
#25 of 31 bad fit mpg by bucky4d4s Apr 20, 2008 (8:19 am)
My wife and I have the same problem- getting about 26 MPG consistently - regardless of who is driving.   The driving tips posted before all seem like they might make a few mpg difference, but a 30% difference?   Is it possible that 1 in a hundred fits, or maybe all from 1 plant, have a defect that causes this problem? Has anyone who had this problem found a way to fix it?   Thanks Mat Replies to this message: thora47 (Apr 30, 2008 6:49 am) wodefit (Sep 27, 2008 8:05 am) bprenderson (Oct 01, 2008 3:09 pm) bobw3 (Oct 02, 2008 3:51 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: bucky4d4s (Apr 20, 2008 8:19 am) I don't have my Fit yet, but have been reading forums obsessively since I started researching the car.   Investigate the "Idle Learn Procedure." It's my understanding that the dealership is supposed to do it during the Pre-Delivery Inspection but it doesn't always get done. I believe it also needs to be done again if you disconnect the battery or one of several other things happen.... If it's not done, one is supposed to achieve sub-par gas mileage.   But this is all hearsay; Good Luck!

Replying to: wodefit (Sep 27, 2008 8:05 am) Gang,   Yesterday, The Buster and I drove the 2007 Fit Sport AT to Corpus Christi and back from Austin. Left early morning and returned late afternoon. 40 mpg on the way down (A/C off most of the way) and 39 mpg coming back (A/C on).   Regards, Bubba Replies to this message: bobw3 (Oct 02, 2008 3:51 pm) bprenderson (Oct 03, 2008 7:37 am)

Replying to: bobw3 (Oct 02, 2008 3:51 pm) Bob,   We drove between 60 and 70 mph. I should have mentioned that we had an extra 110 lbs. of stuff in the car.   Regards, Bubba

Replying to: chibouki (Oct 17, 2007 6:49 am) I have a different posting about my recent purchase of an armrest. I was satisfied with its fit but I couldn't drive the 4 screws snugly because they're screwed into a soft base. I'm thinking of replacing them with longer screws but I don't know if there's more soft material deeper down the surface. I'd want to hear from others about how I can make the armrest fit more tightly.
