I assume that the dealer filled the gas tank till it stopped. When I put gas in the fit it appeared to be near a half empty tank and I filled it until the nozel stopped. I will keep doing this consecutively and make notes. I am sure others will be interested in any changes in my findings... I have had the car three days now and have put near 300 miles on the car. I looks like I am not at a half tank yet. Of course the car had a full tank when I picked it up and I have only added less then 5 u.s. gallons of gas.
Tell us what you think of this post and how it compairs to your findings.
just a follow up. I just recorded 33.4 mpg all city/urban driving. does any one know what the likely hood of geting better mpg in the future? I know that some cars of the same make just do much better then others... thanks.
