Just because I hypermile doesn't mean I don't enjoy a zip or two around the exit ramp, and running anything under the mid 40's won't work for either.
We have all made a great choice in driving a car consistently top-rated in low cost of ownership. In the
unlikely event that running max PSI causes even a 20% reduction in tire life, we are still hundreds of dollars ahead of someone who buys even ONE performance part for a Fit, (of which there are far greater numbers on this site; power adders on a 109 hp car? Puh-leease.)
