That's what I like to see! Something well above EPA ratings.

When I had my 88 dx accord mt coupe, which was rated at 27/32, I routinely got over 40 in mixed driving due to my very light foot and granny-like behaviors, insistence on coasting as much as possible, etc.

I am glad to see that you did so well. It gives me hope there there is the possibility to squeeze much more out of a given quantity of fuel for this Fit and similar mt cars. But I wonder if you did this with a Yaris or Echo with a 34 mpg city rating, would you be getting over 50 mpg in that?
