sorry but this past weekend did a 600 mile trip stopped at about 180 miles on od ran cruise control most of the trip she wasn't even at halfway on gas, factory psi in tires and i'm due to change my air filter soon and i was driving in alot of uphill and steep inclines in cruise and i usually get 40,000 mls on 30,000 ml tires and there still not worn down when changed and i drive in nyc in brooklyn so sorry guys i go by proof and factory settings are working pretty good, and i do this trip once a month to see my kids not knocking anyone just saying settings are reasons from the factory there set for maximum efficiency on all parts including the suspension

 

Your Fit is good out of the factory, but realize that there are things you can do to maximize this economy.

How many miles on your Fit?? What year, model?? What's your fuel economy?

Look around the forum with an open mind and you'll be sure to pick up on a few pointers.

Most of all - enjoy the ride.

2007, sport, almost at 50,000mls i drive in brooklyn nyc so its hard to gauge but last i checked i averaged 32 to 40 average. with rush hour about 24 to 26 considering theres lights everywhere in nyc now there even adding more lights to my commute lol

 

I've traveled the city, it's tough enough let alone worry about mpg's. 30yrs ago heading into Manhattan early on a Sunday was fun, friends had a loft on the lower west side. We used to think it was bad then - HA! Today it's crazy.

There's a few City Fits on board, your mileage looks on par, though 40mpg... cruising The Henry Hudson @ 3AM maybe ;-)

What's the oil change interval? Your Fit would be a great example of the MM 'knowing' serious stop and go driving. Is yours auto or manual tranny.

 

Hey KC what were you driving 30 yrs ago? I had a '71 Mach I 4BBL 351 Cleveland with side pipes and had a "Premium Only" sticker on the air filter cover. Talk about mpg... Seemed like the gas gauge was synch'd to the tach. Tach pegs right, gas gauge pegs left just as fast. Hahah good ole days... Delco AM radio, upgraded to an Audiovox AM/FM w cassette autorev wooohooo!!! Life was simpler then... Yup, personal odometer is high but still love to drive...

Hey Craig, fun and mpg doesn't always go hand in hand but the Fit comes close! Enjoy!

 

BS on even getting close to 40 in Brooklyn.

 

Calling it like you see it DSM... You crack me up!

 

Back then it was either my '69 Alfa or a '74 Audi Fox. MPG was not really part of the equation. The Audi taught me a solid lesson on timing belts.... haven't owned a German car since, though a local guy has a nice '67 Beetle sitting by the road.

 

i go to work 3:30 am and I'm by a highway so that ultimatly helps and i get out at 1:30 so i beat the rush hour thank god for early hours they really help
