Handling question

How does the Honda Fit handling compare to the Boxster's handling? I know the acceleration is not there...

How does a porsche's handling have anything to do with FE and the fit?

Paul:
Nice work there with the avatar... 700 miles? Are you one of the Fit owners on cleanmpg.com I've been hearing about? (I thought my few tanks of 390-420 miles was impressive...)

I'm hoping for some consistent ~400 mile tanks on my upcoming road trip to California at the end of this week.
With gas prices (used the national avg) I calculated I can get from Point A (Daytona Beach, FL) to Point B (LA, CA) for approx. $150 dollars. Beats a plane ticket. That won't include any side trips along the way, nor does it account for the gas to get between SF and LA, but I think it's a good estimate. The more miles I can get the better though.

Thanks

I pretty much voluntarily stopped contributing to the Clean Form a few months ago. The ones that hold the keys are a extreme tight click and have some issues I did not agree with. Got tired of being cautioned when raising a point that they did not like. They absolutely hate to hear about Hybrid cars not being the best value.

I had a number of +700 mile tanks
I did fill my tank to the top when doing that
Best FE +700 tank was:
710 miles, 12.79gal, 55.5mpg
