Personally, I suggest you take it on a trip and see what it does. It could be the "usual" driving you do, the area etc., is just an MPG killer. Like I said before, I have taken this Fit down to Branson and had some really horrible MPG results. Probably the worst since we had the car. Some places are not fit for a Fit.

 

Holy f*ck you are 40 years old?

I was expecting late teens.

I don't want to live on this planet any more.

Done with this thread. Adios.

 

me too, i thought he was a kid. bye bye.

 

Dude take a chill pill or something. You're acting like a tween just exposed to the Internet, not an adult. You are the one complaining that the sonata is clearly superior to the fit. I'm just pointing out what your stated criteria for the fit is and why then complaining that a mid sized sedan is different from a compact 5 door.

 

I rarely get 30 mpg, but I don't care about mileage. I do get better mpg now at 24k miles then I did at 10k. I've never gotten good mpg so I know its my driving style, not the cars I drive.

 

I don't know but at least there's someone on here willing to agree that 31mpg is not very good in this car, only I'm not even getting that anymore so whatever.

 

I don't have a problem at all with the steering. As with several other characteristics of this car. I really only have a problem with, you know, the MAIN reason I bought it.
My 2001 Accord was bought for reliability (coming off a POS Pontiac Bonneville) and it delivered. 202,000 miles before I upgraded.
My 2007 Accord was bought for performance (V6 six-speed manual) and it delivered-- SUPERB handling, braking, shifting, steering, etc (shitty gas mileage but oh well, not the reason I bought it.)
My 2011 Fit was bought for fuel economy to be an around-town car that sold itself on excellent fuel mileage (as well as being a Honda, since I had such good luck with them before.) It has NOT delivered and now I wonder about Honda.

 

Come on I think it was obvious he was older! Can you imagine a teen caring about his mom's mpg, much less his own? Or spending so much time complaining about it? No way. Teens only care about POWEERRRRR or impressing opposite-sex members.

I tried to check out the Sonata forums but I could not find a forum sadly. The only ones I found had like only a few posts, I don't know what the main forum is for the Sonata.

 

You're right, the Fit sucks. And Honda lied about the MPG. And Honda refuses to do anything to fix your damaged Fit. And all the posters here are Honda Loyalists, are mean, suck, and refuse to commisserate with you or fix your car.

Hire a lawyer and sue Honda. Or sell your car. Or do your homework and try to use the lemon law and force Honda to buy it back. And perhaps you can find a forum with unicorns and rainbows where you will live happily ever after.

Best of luck to you.

 

The only thing you are going to prove from your data logging is that a) its possible to have one particular specimen of vehicle that exhibits no faulty characteristics mechanically or computer-related even though it achieves significantly lower fuel mileage than other specimens, and b) that you actually think you can CHARGE someone to obtain this data that will result in no real useful info on FIXING the car and get away with it.
And ANY worhwhile experiment uses a CONTROL vehicle, something with which you can COMPARE the data. If you didn't learn that in 4th grade then good luck with that "tuning" business of yours. Now I know why you charge for something that may OR MAY NOT be helpful- lack of repeat business.
GO tune a fucking guitar.

 

No you all arent. I knew someone was going to come back with this and try to use it to their advantage, but the fact is I have laid out thorough, well-thought-out reasonable points in this thread, and there is only vitriol in return from you people. So really, who is the more immature?
I even gave a reasonable scenario to prove my theory that it is my car, not the way I am driving it or the climate or anything else, something no one else came up with, but because it would prove my point, and therefore prove that Honda doesn't always get everything right, you all will keep on with the same old same old.
A teenager would not lay out thoughtful pointed observations like I have. He would keep throwing the the same excuse out over and over, just like you all, like a kid in a toy store who thinks if he's been told he can't have that toy once, he'll just scream the same thing louder. I have proven that your arguments are contradictory both to yourselves and to Honda, yet you continually keep at me with the same stuff because you have nothing else. You act JUST like that toy store kid, so you don't get to play holier than thou with me and your comments have no merit.
I didn't come on here to start anything. But I love it when folks who blame others are the cause of their own malfunctioning yet still see fit to prop themselves up. I'd say from the comments, undeserved insults, and awkward at best debating habits from most on this board, that the average age I am dealing with on here is 17. Just old enough to drive, and get on the internet without a guardian present; not old enough to know anything about the way the world works.

 

Or the fact that I said that I bought a 2001 Accord brand new off the lot, so that would make me like, 7 years old when I bought it.

But, that would have required thought.

 

You consistantly ignore any members trying to help. This started as a my transmission is bad you are all stupid then segwayed into my mpgs are unacceptable you are all stupid/loyalist idiots now you're 40 honestly I could give a f*ck. If there was a vehicle protective services id turn you in and make sure your fit made it to good home. You don't want help stop asking for it.

 

Worst. Thread. Ever.

 

You are dead wrong about that first statement everyone on this forum gets better mileage than you. My 2.5 year total average is 28.63mpg, just 1 single time did I achieve 40mpg over just 4.1 gallons of gas. Currently with the change to the final drive and my driving style I'm seeing just 25~27mpg. You don't see me crying out for attention and I'm happy with my vehicle.

Also, after all of this you end up being 40yo. Damn take your momma's tit out of your mouth already and be a man.

 

No I never called anyone stupid with regard to the auto tranny shifting. Show me where I did that. If I disagreed with what someone called regular operation of the auto tranny in this car then that's one thing. To me it doesn't shift quite right. I will concede it seems to have gotten better over the last few months. And really the main reason I brought the tranny up is because I had read a lot about the shifting of an auto tranny having a lot to do with the fuel mileage you get. My main concern is still the fuel mileage and always has been.

 

I'm not happy with it, and believe I was misled.
You are, even though you shouldn't be.
If you're happy with it, why would you post about it??

40 doesn't mean a bunch of people on an internet forum can't be wrong, or deserve to be shown so.

 

Heading to Dallas this weekend in it, so my niece can take a look at it.

 

So many appropriate xkcds; so little caring to post them.

Pot, meet kettle. Therapy may help.
