I have found the nearly identical results. The gas mileage is improving, and I now have 1600 miles on it. I found that with my last honda, the first several thousand miles were lower with gas mileage and I even had some oil consumption. Then the MPG improved and the oil consumption stopped completely. I haven't had any oil consumption with the fit, but the gas mileage was lower the first few tanks. Yesterday, after a 500 mile trip up to the lake and back, I averaged almost 37 with the defrost on (which uses a/c to dehumidify the windshield).
