Well, I have 450km on my Fit and still have not gassed up. I'm running on the gas from the dealership and the needle is at about 1/8th. The low fuel light is not on yet. I don't know if the dealer nickled and dimed it to full it but I DOUBT they would. So, I think with a FULL tank and easy driving all in the city 550km+ should be doable. Not bad. Gas is $1.049/litre here, AKA $4.70/(us)gallon CDN$.


Maybe 700Km if all on hiway at 100km/h? Did 742km in a 2000 civic on the hiway driving 90-100kmh. That had a 45L tank and was an auto. Damn near stalled out too. When I filled up, I pumped 44.3 litre.

 

I managed about 350-400miles on the full tank they gave me. After changing my alloys, my mileage has been affected.

 

I got about 440kms when the light came on however it was all crappy heavy traffic driving. I am doing a 5 hour run up north on Easter weekend so we'll see how good I do on the highway. This is all on the LX with auto.

 

Wow that is crazy #'s 350-400miles??

 

Yea. how come on edmunds one of the minor criticisms was "small tank, and frequent refueling made the car seem thirstier than it really was". Even if 10 gallons, if its 350 miles you wouldn't refuel that frequently. My civic gets about 240-270 miles.

 

Good stuff Daniel!

 

Filled up lastnight at 470km. I pumped 33.5 litres ($34). Sooooo that makes for 13.58km/L all city (32.969mpg). The tank is fuller now than when I got it from the dealer, so the gas milage will improve. Even If I pumped 4 litres less, the milage would be 15.42Km/L (37.434mpg)

PLEASE NOTE... i AM USING THE AMERICIAN GALLON

1 AMERICIAN GALLON = 3.7854 LITRE (used google calculator)

 

That is excellent mileage - should improve as the vehicle breaks in. What is your definition of all city? Bumper to bumper with lots of lights, or do you actually get into 5th gear some?

By the way that would be American.

 

Opps!!

OK, city to me is some 5th gear action hitting 80km/h. No hardcore bumper to bumper, I'm fortunate enough not to have to deal with that kinda of crap. But stop and go, redlights and the usual stuff. I drove easy too, never broke 3000rpm (only once, had to get going.)

 

So 7.1 l/100kms, the way Canadians list it. Good for city type driving.

 

Yup, so that's 577km for a 41L tank. So 500 in the city is doable, and prolly 600++ on the hiway.............wait, is it not 7.36L/100kms?

 

I think that those are great #'s and I can not wait to get my Fit. I won't be spending all of my money at the pumps.
