Problems with my fit.

Hey guys I have a couple of questions regarding my fit. So I have had my fit for about a year now. And somehow the computers saying am average 28.5 MPG. Is there anywhere I could improve my mileage somehow? Second question. I also lowered my car like about 2 months ago. And the ABS sensor has been on ever since. How can I fix that? Third question. I have my car sitting on Black Racing Pro N1s 195/45R16 in the fronts and 205/50R16 in the rear. My TPMS is on. Anyway on how I could fix that too?
And last but not least when I lowered my car two screws accidently went inside into a hole of the car. How could I get them out?

Your MPG is about what I got in my fit.
Are you sure the abs sensors all got reconnected correctly when you lowered it?
Wondering why you have the bigger tires on the rear on a FWD car. Did you get TPMS sensors put in the new tires? Or did you not have the sensors calibrated?
Screws in a hole, I would use a magnet.

It is apparently possible to break the wires for the rear ABS sensors by dropping the rear suspentiontoo far while the car is up in the air. I would check for damaged sensors/wires.

yah, common mistakes by newbs on rear install to break the abs line.

mpg can be improved by driving style and using proper psi. 33-35psi cold.

tpms can be reset by the dealer. check psi first. it's possible your tire shop broke the sensor during service too.

GL!

It will break the sensor wire if you do not disconnect before dropping the rear. My installer dropped mine before I had a chance to tell him. Fortunately. the Service Rep at Honda is a tuner and said my springs had nothing to do with the ABS and they replaced under wty.

Sticky tires will reduce MPG.
