What to do about terrible gas mileage
What to do about terrible gas mileage
Hey everyone, I've had my Fit since March. The first road trip I took on it had great gas mileage. I averaged about 40 mpg. A few weeks later it started acting up, it started to misfire and throw codes. I thought I figured out the issue. Which I replaced the coils and spark plugs. Which the check engine light went away. Still getting terrible gas mileage (23 mpg). I decided to check if there was any codes last week, there was the same codes that popped up before the misfire on 3 cylinders. So I checked to see if it was the coils again. They seemed to be good to go. I put in fuel treatment thing it could be a fuel issue. I unplugged the battery to reset the computer and all the codes disappeared. I drove it til the tank was low. I got slightly better gas mileage but still getting around 24-25. Only thing I could think of is possible fuel clogged line, fuel injectors or possibly bad fuel pump. Is there anything else that I could be missing or anything else I should look at?
I'm in the same boat as you (averaging around 22 MPG) but I recently did a valve adjustment and generally that noticeably improves your MPG so I would look into getting that done it you're long overdue. Some easier things to tackle are tire pressure & oil change.
