Long drive...sort of.
 
went to seattle yesterday with my honda fit...from Burnaby.
i got it up to 150kms....but would not get to 160 even with my foot floored to the pedal.
anyone ever take their fit past 150kms.
Again dissapointed with gas milage:(
my co-worker gets close to 650kms on a full tank with her 06 yaris(manual)

thanks all

Maybe if you weren't flooring it , and speeding, you would have better gas miliage.

i guess im not so much complaining about the gas milage...maybe its because im not use to a small tank(10.8 gallons). My Van has a 72litre capacity.
also...i have owned 5 mustangs before, so im still getting use to less power as opposed to v8.
i once took my 02mustang gt at 225kms going to Edmonton( now..i thinks thats fast..)
thanks again.:)

Is your Fit automatic?!?!

I'm getting 650+ on the last 5 tanks, but I also pump 46L into my gas tank/filler neck. I tend to drive about 40km with the low fuel light on, pump, two clicks later it stops around 33-34 L and I can squeeze another 10 L if I'm patient, zero spilage.

I just came back from Christina lake yesterday (570kms) and haven't filled up yet. I could probably get over 600 by the time I fill. I don't like to run it all the way down. It is an Automatic.

I believe the tank has over a gallon left when the gas light comes on.

I also had a Mustang before this... so the mileage seems pretty good.

I might possibly perhaps maybe have done 179 (indicated) earlier this week on an unnamed road with the Valentine One standing guard...

I don't often engage in such silliness, so I'm usually getting great mileage!:D

Filling it up that much may not be a good thing hey. Now i haven't looked closely at the EVAP system, but if you're soaking your carbon canister, it may cause some problems.

been up to 180, i can get about +550km if i run it dry driving regularly, if i feather the throttle i can prolly get +650km

Fit of RAGE 03-07-2007 07:03 PM

wow you guys have awesome milage. I thought that i was good at 440km per tank. Are you guys on cruise control a lot??

KnifeEdge_2K1 03-07-2007 10:14 PM
