40.80682162 mpg after 1030km
Title says it all. All my driving was in the city. I have a 5 speed manual with an FM radio in it. And I am using the Americian gallon. With a Canadian gallon I am getting 49.007mpg. AKA 20.187KM per Litre. Fit is teh bomb.

Good question, we had snow on the ground last week, so yeah, no A/C use in that milage.

Figured as much, but that's encouraging. I was just wondering how you did so much better than the C/D guys - guess they were using A/C and including their tests in the overall mpg figure (which is pretty encouraging in and of itself).

Yeah, they might be pushing the Fit more than I am. I driving mine easy. Why buy a fuel sipping car and then stand on the pedal?
Most anyone should be able to pull 35mpg+ from this car with ease, or drive nice and get 40 like me.

40mpg in the city is phenomenal.
I'll have an A/T, so my mileage will be ever so slightly worse, but I'll also be using the paddle shifters, so it might not be that different.
I don't use A/C that often.
Viva Fit.

Still wondering about the FM radio bit. What is the association with fuel economy?

hahaha, it's something that popped into my mind as I was typing, so I put it in. It's an old joke from The Bob and Doug McKenzie LP.

The Malaysian/Australian version I am reviewing here has a leather bound steering wheel and the speedo is also equipped with a fuel consumption computer (measuring in units of litre/100km) which is selected via the trip meter selector button. Thus the trip meter button will toggle between 3 modes, overall accumulated mileage, trip mileage and trip fuel consumption.
