Got 27mpg over the weekend.

Yet again, my manual Sport averaged 6.7L/100kms or 35 US MPG on my last tank of gas. For winter driving in Canada, that's damn good. That's what I was averaging last summer when it was new. I do 50/50 city/highway driving..

Mine has 28,000 kms or 17,400 miles.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE give us some information on the highway mileage on the AT Fit.

Don't know if you do a lot of highway driving, but I'm going nuts tryin gto find out some real highway figures on the AT cars. For me, it's the difference between buying one and not buying one (for the wife).

thanks... </TD></TR></TABLE>

I get about 290-300 miles until my gas light turns on. 90% of my driving is on the freeway. I usually drive about 70-75 mph. When I fill up it takes about 9 gallons to fill( the tank is not completely empty when the light turns on). The average MPG i'm getting is about 32-33 on the highway

Well, the mileage isn't all that bad if you can get a consistent 32-33 for an AT car, I guess. It would be SO much better if the tank were even 2 gallons bigger, though.

I don't see my wife going for a car w/ a 300 mile range. She's be tanking up every 3 days--no good. (then again, her CR-V doesn't do much better for range)

Thanks for the info...

I am experiencing this as well and its nice to not be alone. I have a MT Fit, before the weather got cold up here in Michigan, I was getting 38mpg ~80% freeway driving at 75 to 80 mph. Now I am getting 32 to 35 mpg. 35-36 mpg when I baby it, 65 mph on the freeway, shifting before 3k etc...

The EPA will be re-evaluating the fuel mileage estimates. The current standards are from the early 80s. The new standards will be taking into account A/C use, longer commutes, higher speed limits etc...

The numbers we are reporting could just be the mileage we are supposed to be getting. *thrugs*

Lets all get VAFC's and tune our Fits or an intake & header, probably the best options for more MPGs

I have a MT Fit LX (Canadian equivalent of the US base model I think), and I have compiled my gas fill-ups since owning the car, and here is some of the data I got between July 2006 until Feb 2007.

I generally drive conservatively and shift around 3K-3500. Most of the numbers near the top are summer roadtrips, and the lower ones are primarily just short drives around the city. I wonder how much difference it makes to be using radio/CD player and stuff like headlights?

Here are the L/100km numbers from fill up to fill up:
6.590017825
7.684210526
5.350877193
6.341991342
6.428571429
6.184210526
6.612149533
6.848030019
6.933333333
6.266025641
6.76980198
8.837606838
7.233933162
6.717021277
8.49339207
6.950738916
7.711688312
7.52238806
9.62992126
7.150326797
7.676966292
8.431192661

Since most of you use MPG:
35.74345887
30.65377117
44.02082548
37.14133596
36.64111595

24.460224
32.94255462
30.68269706
27.93792534

My average overall: 6.89 L/100km or 34.18 mpg
For summer/fall average: 6.49 L/100km or 36.29 mpg

I live in Ottawa, Canada as another person here, but I guess I don't get as good winter mileage. It may be because of my winter tires (Michelin X-Ice) and the fact that I had only ever added air to the tires once (last week).

I own a Auto transmission Fit Sport. I bought it back in July of 2006. I have just over 10,000 miles on it. Therefore, I can tell you that I have fully explored every way I can think of to get better gas mileage. I still average 22-24 MPG. I personally work for a Toyota Service department. I would have bought a Yaris, (getting over 30 mpg AT no sweat) but thought the Fit looked better, and thought that it got the same mileage the Yaris did. Point is, I live in Vegas, and have already made it through a Hot summer, and dgot terrible gas mileage. I teach people everyday how to drive better so that they can recieve better MPG, so I do know a thing or two about driving to get best results. The truth is, we have been lied to. All those of us who have Auto trans. Fits need to start talking about what we are gonna DO about being exploited, and lied to. by Honda.

do what though? im not trying to be a smartass.. im just wondering.. what can be done? big law suit?

Disheartening to see this going on even with the manual trannies. I'm willing to bet that a more powerful engine would better mileage numbers.

Why not a destroked K20A3 or something?

Would have been nice to have atleast a k20a3.

So far on my sport AT Fit I have has 4 tanks.
tank1 60% freeway 40% country rds 33.5
tank2 60% freeway 40% country rds 33.9
tank3 40% freeway 10% country 50%city 29.5
tank4 30% freeway 40% country 30%city 29.8
I installed a SRI and axle back exhaust
about 3/4 tank left and at 100 miles

I'm getting three hundred miles + per tank, I think it's driver habit and environment that is causing the crappy gas millage...

You've got a lot less elevation changes in Phoenix, then there are in other parts of the country.

I'm mildly pissed off too.

My gas numbers aren't any better than my Prelude.
And my old Lude was a 200HP engine.

My 2007 FIT SPORT AT gets 29 to 30 mpg. I drive 42 miles each do to work 4 days a week in it. 90% of that is freeway driving at speeds between stop-and-go traffic to more frequently 65 - 80 mph. My figures are less than published 31 mpg city which is at least what I expect to get. My calculation is based on filling up after fuel light comes on, recording the gallons added, then recording the miles driven until the light comes back on again. I've recorded this 5 times over the last 6 months and have gotten very similar results - 29 to 30 mpg.

I drive another car (a 2001 Audi) to work ocassionally that gets 20 to 21 mpg with published figures of 17 city and 24 highway. I drive the same way and along the same route in similar traffic conditions and I get 20 to 21 mpg. That is what I expect to get with that vehicle under those conditions - it's kind of split between the highway and city figures - fairly straightforward.

My conclusion is that there is something clearly wrong with either my Fit or Honda's published figures. Either way I'm bringing it up with my dealer soon.
