Road Trip: A tale of two setups

Well time to see how the Fit does for economy this year on a long distance trip from Calgary, Alberta to Vancouver, BC.

Over the course of this weekend I will be driving slightly shy of 2000km, where this gets interesting is half of that trip will be with my current setup and the other half with some interesting additional modifications.

Quote:

Base Setup:
Honda Fit Sport, 5MT, 13,000km, 17" RTX Wheels wrapped in 195/40 rubber. Heavy use of cruise control to help produce accurate results.

The trip out:
Engine Modifications:
Fujita CAI, T1R Header, T1R 50S Exhaust system & Muffler

The trip back:
Engine Modifications:
Fujita CAI, T1R Header, T1R 50S Exhaust system & Muffler,
Greddy Emanage Ultimate w/ selectable tune maps, Weapon R Intake Manifold, T1R Pulley.

There is an elevation difference between the cities that should be noted, however I suspect the results will be interesting to see regardless. Stay tuned for my results write-up next week.....

Unfortunately the results have been comprised by extreme weather. Snow hindered the entire trip, driving was very slow going and as a result the gas mileage was not accurate. I recorded one stretch which worked out to only 22mpg.... lol.

I will have to come back and revisit this post later on when I have a chance to do record some reasonable data on highway mileage.
