Acceleration issue 2015 LX

I have roughly 33k on my 2015 LX. I never use Ecco mode. Just straight out driving using mainly Mobil regular gasoline. The car has generally been pretty peppy with good acceleration, but recently that acceleration has seemed to have less energy. I'm not sure it's me or the car, but it is my daily driver, so I know it pretty well. It just feels as if I have to push the car more to have it move when merging onto a highway. Anyone else run into this kind of issue. If so, is there something that can be done to improve the acceleration? Thanks.

At 33K, I'd be taking that car to the dealer pronto. Warranty expires at 36K and you want documentation of the issue before the warranty expires. Could be a lot of things; let us know how it turns out.

Was there a TSB recently issued by Honda concerning fuel injectors for the 2015 Fit?

This one mentions fuel injectors but I guess you aren't experiencing misfires.

TSB Reference: #A16-034

Date Reported JUNE 23, 2016

Description:
SERVICE BULLETIN - THE IGNITION COIL, SPARK PLUG, OR FUEL INJECTOR ON ONE OR MORE CYLINDERS MAY BE AFFECTING COMBUSTION AND CAUSE THE ENGINE TO MISFIRE.

No misfires. Just slow pickup and acceleration.

florida.. could be bad gas and ur engine is retarding the timing. floods cause water to sometimes enter the tanks underground.

try another gas station next time.
