Fit Sport AT mpg +
For those with the automatic paddle shifted Fit Sports I found that I get better gas mileage in Sport and shift as needed. Improved from 28 mpg to 30 mpg in suburbia. Cionfirmed again with 159 mile trip today.
You can start from 2. Or shift up quickly. You can avoid all that computer downshifting on minor upgrades that eats up gas.
Tad more fun as well.
If you're looking for more serious performance rember only the first 3 gears are useful on track.. And for top speed you'll barely get into fourth gear.
Wonder if Honda knew that.

Yeah i figured you could get better MPG by out smarting the car computer.
The only thing is, i cant keep it under 5krpm when using the paddles lol, to tempting to rev like crazy.
