I took a picture of the new kid on the block next to its sibling. Their personality is so different. I hope they get along.

Your picture shows what I miss most about moving out of my house to where I am now - a garage! How I miss the luxury of having a garage to park my rides in. |
I washed my car today, it is back to being Blue, it is no longer a grey color lol

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...f7fab03a53.jpg I always tell others you should buy what you like and not what your "income" defines what you should buy. Good for you! :thumbups: It makes me think I'm less crazy wanting a Fit ;) |
Looks great! Wow, a sibling that makes your new Fit look like "Big Brother/Sister".

Completely cleaned my FIT inside and out, looks like new again.

I did the singularly most important thing to date: paid it off! Did it in 24 months!

My loan is charging 1.9% interest, so that's the last thing I would pay off early.

I didn't like the black glossy piano look because I could see finger prints and dust so I carbon fiber vinyl over that area. It looks great. Took a lot of time to fabricate the pattern (LX dash) to make it looked perfect.

2 RISMO: Do you know what tires you plan on buying to replace the Firestones?:confused: |
Silver EX: What kind of driving are you doing to get over 40 MPG on both FITS? Do you do over 95% highway?
I am only getting only 32-33 MPG combined. About 50/50 highway/city. But on those times I just did highway it was closer to 40. But to get over 40, I would have to jump on and off the highway with almost no city driving at all. |

As far as your other question about MPG, I'm consistently getting over 40 MPG. My best being 47 MPG. My commute is about 80/20 highway/city driving. I also have options to take back roads that many times move better than highways. I've implemented some hypermiling techniques that have helped. Simple things like coasting towards a red light and timing it so it's green by the time you get to it. Or accelerating down hills to use momentum to get up the slope. Having visited LA, I think your traffic is the issue. Lots of stop and go driving really put a dent on MPG. |
Rismo:
That is quite an impressive "system" that you have to save fuel. And you are correct: LA driving is expensive on the fuel consumption. On FIT, AC on, and stop and go only tanks get 26 MPG AVG. Ouch! Regarding Tires: I actually had the Altimax RT43 on my 2009 FIT for 1.5 years before I sold it for the 2015 FIT. It was a fine tire and I had no problems with it for that period. Inexpensive tire back then. You may find though? that it may cut your MPG's a gallon or two bc RT43 is not an energy saver tire like the Firestones that came on our FITS. I have been very actively shopping for tires, also in the 205/50 size to replace the Firestones which tend to slip and slide on wet starts. Here are some other options--have you considered: 1. *BF Goodrich G-Force Comp 2 A/S (*90.00 at Tirebuyer.com--not too bad) 2. Michelin Primacy MXV4 3. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 (143.00 at Tirebuyer.com Expensive) 4. Pirelli P7 Cinturato All Season Plus. (I have seen these in the 120.00+ range) 5. Yokohama YK580 |
replaced the dealership license plate frames with some standard chrome ones. I'll be adding more actual parts and customizations later.
