a fuel economy meter would've been nice to have given what we're paying for the Sports.
I'm sure it's not incredibly accurate, but nice to have nonetheless

The more I think about it, they added the cruise control lights in the dash were the meter is located in other markets.

See! It's nice to have Canadian friends. 3.785 Litres per US Gallon, right?

VividJazz are those Australian Fit numbers?

No thats the numbers quoted here converted. We don't get those good a numbers round the city. We get 5L per 100KM highway but around 7L per 100KM city. About the same figures for CVT and manual too.

I say the bigger front bumper cuts the draft better than the JDM front end!

SImple...because it's FUNNNNN and you still get decent mileage. I drove my 89 Civic in a spirited manner and still got 33-35 mpg as a matter of course. Now I've got a Ford Focus wagon and spend all my time trying to eke out an extra mpg.

I used to drive race cars (time trials). I learned that it's a LOT more fun to drive a small, light car with a small engine on the limit than it is to drive a big, heavy, overpowered beast.
