As surprising as it may be, about 33-35 mpg. The Fit usually uses about 1/3 of a tank to make that trip (give or take a gallon or two). Again, its about 175 miles. However, weather is a major factor.
Once I made the trip from Omaha to Kearney with a tailwind of about 30mph. That trip took only 1/4 of a tank. I was really happy!
Funny, but unrelated story. I was filling up in Kearney, before going home. The gas station I went to had abnormally cheap gas. I found out why. After I finished filling up, I noticed a sign on the pump that was literally the size of a postage stamp that read "This gasoline contains 25% ethanol. For use in flex fuel cars only."
My heart sank. I just knew I was gonna have to endure the cost of new a new engine. I went inside and yelled at the gas station owner and and called my Honda dealer in Omaha. The service tech I talked to said that it was safe to drive. And that he owned a 07 Fit and he ran it on E85 cuz its so cheap. And the he's done so since he owned it, over a year ago. No mods.
Anyway, through that tank of gas the Fit was extremely peppy (more than normal). However, when I got to Omaha, the gas light was on. Needless to say, I won't be going back to that gas station ever again.
