#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.
