Hi everyone - I got a 2013 Fit last weekend. I drive a lot (250 miles/wk) for work, and I've taken a couple short road trips, so I'm at about 500 miles. So far, I'm averaging a little over 40 MPG. My drives are primarily rural highway.

Someone on the Yaris discussion board also had a Fit and said the mileage was much more equitable than the SPA ratings suggest. He got around 40 in his Fit.

I am curious what others are getting. And, if anyone else is doing largely rural highway, I'd be interested in your MPG.

Should I expect this to continue or drop some as the car ages?

PS I'm thrilled. The reason almost went Yaris was MPG ratings!

 

At first I was getting about 39mpg, now a little over 1 year and 25,000 miles later, I'm averaging ~35ish. I drive decently aggressive though. Mostly freeway and big long main streets though

 

32 and its slowly going up. Running mpg for last 10 fillups is 34.6 though

 

Doing about 32.7 so far this year took a real nose dive in the beginning of the year has recently been on the up swing have not really changed my driving habits but who knows.

 

Consistently over 41 mpg every tank. 45 mile commute each way, including bumper-bumper traffic.

 

Interesting, everyone. I assume long commutes (60 miles one-way) with only maybe 12 stop lights and only 3 turns helps me a lot. I don't drive too aggressively. And, clearly 95% of my drive is highway. The dealer told me to expect mid 30s - really, my salesman has been amazed that I can get this kind of mileage. I use cruise control most of the trip, too - so speed stays very consistent - and, yea, I do stay in the limits of the law.

It is interesting that there is that much variation between drivers, though. What % of everyone's driving is city/hwy? Is anyone using Fuelly to track? I would "friend" you if you give me your name on their. Thanks!

 

I'm probably the user from YarisWorld, here's my Fuelly page:

800 miles of around town and a bit of highway averaging 32.8 mpg. Probably going to get worse as I'm slowly realizing I need to keep the revs up to have any kind of power (and I'm out of any kind of break in period).

I'm on the other end. I average about 28-29mpg. Highest I've ever gotten was 33, but that's because my daily commute is less than 15 miles a day. I hit high 36+ every now and then when I have to go somewhere "far" compared to my usual routine.

 

There is a massive thread in the Eco forum. I get about 27 city and 37 highway but that's with so cal traffic which can be infuriating. Without the lost tourists and general stupidity of other drivers I bet I'd be getting 10% better mileage. The pic in my avatar was from 150 mile highway trip, 55mph with cc on. I just stayed behind a trucker the entire way.

 

As I am the only person that is ever in my car, I removed all the extraneous seats and noticed about 2-3 more MPG. Over the last 3 months I have averaged 44.1 MPG. Mostly rural highway, plenty of stoplights and traffic though. I love this car.

Link to my fuelly page is below.

 

obc shows 30.5-30.6mpg for me. but i drive pretty hard and only surface roads over 99% of the time. 30mpg on regular gas is plenty for me.

when i took the car out for a 180 mile one way trip, it was at 37-38mpg.

 

2012 Fit Sport A/T here. The highest I've ever gotten on a fill up was 38 MPG and the lowest ever was 32 MPG (lots of idling and horsing around a little). Routinely I average 34 - 35 MPG. These figures are by the readout on the dash and verified by calculations when filling up. The dash readout seems to be very accurate, reading about 0 to 1 MPG high every time. My driving is usually about 80% interstate at 70 MPH and about 20% city.

I also tested my mpg read out a few times, assuming the pumps at the gas station are correct I'd say I'm within a .25 mpg accuracy.

 

Good to learn the dash MPG is correct-- My Maxima's was 15% high so didn't even consider using the Fit's (I use Road Trip app on my phone).

Weight must be a big factor- they are so light to begin with and performance is so markedly hurt with any kind of load - anybody ever experiment with how it affects MPG?

I haven't put more weight in, but taking my seats out definitely got me at least 2 more mpg.

 

~33 mpg if i'm being a hoon and ~40 mpg if I take it easy, so what's that?

36.5 mpg?

I went for a good 4 months really taking it easy and just seeing what kind of mileage I could get out of the car and hit 39-40 mpg pretty consistently just by staying under 70 and keeping momentum. This is a 35 mile busy freeway commute with traffic pretty much the whole way sometimes.

I got over it pretty quickly and just drive however I want to now (calculated average is about right, 35-36 mpg doing this).

 

I'll get over it when the winter gas formulations arrive and high MPG becomes harder.

For now, I'm pursuing high MPG on lightly-traveled hilly rural roads. Last fillup was 50.81MPG for a total average of 48.49.

My display has been lower than math at the pump. Last fill-up it was 12.6 percent low. I need more fill-ups for more measurements, but I won't put in less than a half tank.

 

Very interesting! It sounds like my rural 4 lane (w enough law enforcement to keep me in-line) may be my MPG friend. Set the cruise, enjoy the music, get to work on time. The more MPG, the further the mileage checks go, the more road trips I CA afford. I appreciate the info. Can't wait to hit 50 MPG, but it may not be til spring. Thanks!

 

i now average around 30 with the slightly cooler weather. 80% city
