Long trip? Fill it to the rim!

Hey, yunz!

120 miles return trip, too, and it's not even to the half way mark.

I love my Fit, but I hate the recalls.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?
i have put over 400 miles on a GD from salt lake city to las vegas on one tank! i had a 1gallon gas can in the back just in case!

i have actually put 435 miles on my GE when driving from LA to SLC on one tank, but i had a strong tail wind for most of the trip, but even the second tank and no tail wind i got over 390 miles before i decided to fuel up - i only use 88octane or lower too!!!! i believe i got 85octane in LA

I got something like 105 miles before the needle settled on the full mark this fill to the top fill up.... Supercharging is costing me about 6.5 MPG average and the average can vary greatly depending on how boost happy my right foot gets...

i think my gas milage may sucks due to being in vermont. there is always an uphill! and my base auto fit is constantly downshifting. the best i've done is 35.5mpg. and that was only once. im usually closer to 32

I've gotten low 400s on long road trips without too much cargo. If I had my kayaks or bikes w/ roof rack and other heavier gear I still can squeeze low 300s out of it with some careful driving.
honestly 32 mpgs avg. for an auto is pretty good, even with hills!

Pittsburgh isn't much better!

I pushed 40+ MPG going to OBX, NC.
