Why is it disappointing?

The Civic and Fit's weights aren't that different. Similar sized engines but the Si revs much higher. I average 34-36 in my Fit in normal driving. I get 38-39 on the highway while averaging 75-80mph. That's at least 5mpg above your numbers without any sci-fi technology or ultra-low displacement engine. Imagine if it had a three-cylinder 1liter turbo-charged motor.
