Post up your last 3 screen and let's see who's getting the worst fuel economy.

I'm getting 26.7 average over the last three fills. And real world fuel economy is 1.5 mpg less than indicated on my car. Can anyone beat that?

 

ooh, i might have to throw my hat in the ring on this one...

whatcha getting per tank? here was mine a couple tanks ago:

 

Less than 200 miles per tank, each reset was with a fresh tank of fuel. But I'm not driving it to empty. Always filling up between 1/8 and 1/3 of a tank.

 

ah, i fill up every 3 days or so. 1/3rd of a tank is nearly a day of commuting for me.

 

I'm getting about 33/35 MPG. I'm driving it way hard, and having a great time doing it. My previous vehicle got 19 MPG, so I'm still way ahead.

Paddle shifters are just way too fun….

 

I've owned my cae for 5 weeks and I've only filled up my gas tank twice so far (plus the free tank from the dealer)... Just hit 1,000 miles today.

 

I'm on a homework procrastination break right now so I can't post a screenie, but I've filled up 3 times since getting the car, with an average of 36.57 mpg. I figured I wasn't doing all that well because I've been seeing Fuelly tickers with crazy mpg, but now I don't feel so bad. I like this thread! :P

Half my driving is on city streets, and there are a lot of hills to contend with. When I have trips where the majority of my road time is on the freeway, I've been able to get 44 and 45 mpg with relative ease. But those stop lights...

 

even if i floor it all day i'm still getting 35mpg

 

Does the LX have that history info? I haven't seen it before..
Been getting roughly 29 city driving only, with lots of stoplights/signs and not caring about gas.

 

The dash shows and not on the radio screen.

I haven't been through one full tank yet. However I've been shifting at redline and its so fun! My computer says I'm doing like 25 lol

One thing I've noticed is that when I'm shifting like that, the rpms don't drop fast enough and it revs higher and it sounds like its bouncing off the rev limiter in between shifts when my foot is off the gas. Manual problems

 

I fill up once every two months since I'm retired, and everything is either across the street from me or less than 2 1/2 miles, and because that would not be good for overall MPG, I'll take the trade off anyway. My last fill up I got about 25 MPG, but normally I would get less. I let my car warm up 5 minutes in winter months, and about 2 1/2 minutes summer.

 

Like SR45, we walk just about everywhere because Dunedin is like that. I'm about to hit 1,000 miles in a couple weeks. So in four months I've had the car I just went to the gas station for the third time to put in $20.


We have business that takes us to St. Petersburg, so we get more "highway" miles (you'd understand the quotes if you knew Route 19), but otherwise it's short trips and stop lights. The computer has gotten to 33.5 mpg average overall, and I have no idea what the real number is.

 

My EX auto gets 43 mpg with cruise control set @70mph, Eco on and mixed A/C averaged over 50 miles. In the city I'm getting about 35. Power and gas mileage is way better with 91 octane.

 

I have an LX 6m and the first couple of days I drove it my mpg was around 29. Then I started playing the green light blue light game and the trip odometer has crept up to 37 mpg. If I reset the trip odometer, though, it would probably show I am getting over 40 mpg now.

 

I've come to realize that there is aline between driving too hard and not hard enough. The owners manual said to avoid hard take offs until 600mi so that's what idid I would really feather it with the eco button on. The echo button really realtards the throttle response. I noticed that especially in the city that I would be around 4 or 5 bars on the instant mpg'o'meter in between signals. So I tried turning off econ and sort of getting on it when I take off. I have an ex cvt so if i let it accelerate around 3k rpm and then cost to the next light I get much better economy. I looked it up on eco modders and they were saying that typically the most efficient way to accelerate is the before the egr loop opens which is around 75% load. So I used to get pretty poor mileage in town. But I have found that actually driving modestly hard is better. I use the eco button basically just for cruising the highway at speed now.

 

I really despise the way the eco button retards throttle response for city driving, I also generally want the AC capacity here in Atlanta. But I too find the eco button a lovely addition for long highway rides (rare as they may be for me). The Fit's eagerness, which I so love in the city, is generally unnecessary on the highway, I just want to make little minor speed shifts and the retarded throttle response of eco-mode is perfect for that. The AC is also much more capable with 70 MPH air being blasted through the condenser.

So yeah, love my eco button, but only on the highway.

 

I've got an LX with CVT. I drive with the econ button on all of the time. And I've been trying to keep the fuel economy lights in the green and avoiding the blue. I'm presently getting 39.8 mpg which is about 50/50 city/highway.

 

Most of you drive like me. I average 32/34 mpg. That's more than half as highway driving. I just filled up for the third time & I have about 860 miles on her. She's 1 month old today.

 

Thought this might interest NotBlake and the rest of you. I have a stock LX 6MT and was averaging around 39-40 mpg doing about 50/50 city/highway: 6 or 7 tanks, my calculation using the trip odometer and gallons used ... the ecm always computes higher.

Recently replaced my 15" steelies with 16" alloy wheels/tires from an EX: getting 35-36 mpg ... definitely didn't expect to drop 4-5 mpg.

Going back to the stock-steel 15" wheels tomorrow and will report results after next fill-up.

 

Ahh yes, the price we pay for vanity.
