New Fit - Great Gas Mileage

Bought a new '13 Sport MT exactly a week today, ~350 miles, averaging 36+ mpg. (The stock mpg gauge and scangauge II are within less than 1 mpg)

Nobody seems to believe me, but the 2012 Accord SE I traded in averaged less than 25 mpg. SO glad I got the FIt, I really love it (and for more than the improved gas mileage, i.e. manual trans, and my dogs can ride nicely in the cargo) It's fun like my my Civic Coupe 5-speed I bought new in 2004.

ETA: Break-in driving keeping revs under 4500 RPM, but decelerating in lower gear, mixed with driving like an old lady.

That's awesome. You'll probably get a mile or two per gallon more once it breaks in. Glad you're enjoying it!

Well, since you've already had it for an entire week it's time to start modding.....Progress RSB, 205/50 series tires, Clazzio Seat covers, etc, etc, etc.

All-weather mats and tint is enough for now.
