I must say I am in love with this car. Just did a 180 mile round trip in, this heat, blasting the AC with a passenger in the first 90 miles on 89 octane. 39.8 mpg on the scangauge! Still have more than a half a tank!

Really looking forward to putting in the K N filter hope I can get above 40!

 

Don't take the scangauge MPG reading as gospel. It's a calculation. Use your odometer reading and the gallons you put in the tank and do the math; that will be your most accurate MPG value.

 

You are right I got better than 39.8.

Heck I traveled about 240 miles on a half of tank.

 

Just filled up today

244 miles 5.8 gallons -- 42.06 mpg! wow.

This was about 80 percent highway, but not too shabby at all. Just put in the KN filter too!

 

manual or auto?

 

It is the auto with sport mode and paddle shifters. Which I Never use sport mode, is this better for gas? Scangauge was not being nice in sportmode, so I went back to auto.

 

Sports mod gets worst MPG. It makes the tranny shift at higher rpm points. I to never use the sport mode. Hmm great mpg i have a 08 AT as well. But i am geting about 36.0mpg right now thought i was doing good

 

Sounds like your Fit did a great job. I love to take it for trips - just to get to drive it for longer periods of time! LOL!

Cat :x

 

I used to only get 36mpg out of my 1.8l toyota.

I just did another trip but I won't be getting the same results. I had my wife and dog with a fully loaded car blasting a/c, but I will still hit 200 miles on the half gallon.

Oh ya I only use 89 and 93 octane.
