Well, after this with our regular in town driving the mpg meter numbers started traveling north. At the end of the day driving with no freeway mileage the car was averaging 33.4 mpg. Before this we were seeing around 28. With the car having around 200 miles, will I see further improvement over time?
When you fill up, I would hand calculate the mpg as well. I've found the dash can be a couple of miles off either way. In the rental though, with 23k on the clock, it was very close on the last fill up. 35.2 on dash. 35.5 hand calculated. |

After two weeks I'm still loving my 2012 OBM Fit Sport 5M. $17388 w/wheel locks and door edge and wheel well guards (was already installed before I saw the car).http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/IMAG0255.jpg
https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/%3Ca...%22%3E%3C/a%3E You mentioned wheel well guards. Are those in the rear? |
Yes it is front and rear...primarily for keeping the edges from getting chipped since there are no wheel well liners. You can see them on the edge of the wheel well in front. Not so well in the rear.

I easily removed the door edging and left the wheel well edging on since they aren't really noticeable there and actually might provide protection from anything the tires may spit out. |
Got my 2012 Sport A/T last week for 17,860 plus TTL. Traded it for my 2009 Mazda RX8 R3. I love the spacious and bright interiors. I have yet to refuel it but the mileage computer shows about 25 mpg for driving around the burbs. Thats the same as a I4 Camry I used to have. Hopefully it improves in time.

I called the two Honda dealers in my area and asked about the Honda Fit Cargo Cover. Neither had one in stock and the price quote was $214.00 w/tax at one dealer and $165.00 at the other w/o tax. This price seems rather steep for a piece of plastic with a couple of clips and strings. I checked Amazon and they have one a bit cheaper and it looks like it qualifies for free shipping. Forum members who have purchased the cover, where and how much damage to the wallet did it inflict?

I would specify year. I think 2012 is different part number. Good luck! |

Is the cargo cover the same for the 2012 as the 2009 to 2011? Amazon says yes but I am not sure.

The same but the 2009-2011 has a silly piece of felt that is "supposed to be" attached between the cover and back seats. I never attached mine.

Somebody asked me what the circular area on the front bumper driver side is. I have no idea. Does anybody know?
Also, my wife has a BMW 3 series and now calls my Fit hers. She loves driving it. Solutions? Divorce and/or womanslaughter first came to mind but these are not practical or realistic. |

Mud flaps? Not a bad idea. Anything about the circular impression on the front bumper drivers side?
