Ok screw, I thought switching back to 87 was good, now I'm gonna switch back to 89!

 

Well I just picked up my Fit a few day's ago...... so far I have 195km's on the tank with about a 2/3 left. A/T trans, with the defrost off. Not driving it nice either.

 

Lots of highway driving?

 

Not really a good mix of both. Sat in traffic a few times also. Very impressed so far with this car!

 

I'm noticing better mileage, andi 'm just hitting around 3500km... haven't had my first oil change yet, though. But the milage has been improving every tank. My last tank was like 409km . I guess it's finally really getting broken in. ^_^

 

im getting around 450Km per tank and thats driving in hills and not driving until dry. i usually fill up when or before the light comes on. hope this helps. jj

 

400 is right when the light pops on.

 

Recently, I've been averaging about 7 litres per 100/km. That's city and highway combined. It's MUCH better on the highway and it's also improved a fair amount since when I bought it last June. I currently have about 8,500km on it and since we've been coming out of the colder winter temps, every tank has been better. I suspect it will be even better ones the temps get even warmer

 

Wow, I must be doing something wrong. The only time I've ever had a full tank of gas was when I first bought the car. I believe even then I only got 400 kms (I've got an auto). From then on, I put $30 of regular in (sorry, I'm on a strict budget) and that barely gets me like 297 kms before the light goes on.

 

got a bad habit of holding my gears. So just for fun once last month, I decided to shift "properly" and see what my fuel consumption can be.

Anyways, filled up the tank, then started the experiment. I got around 512km before the fuel light went on. So I went into a gas station, filled up again, and the car only took about 32L of fuel. So I could have easily got another 100km at least out of the tank since our tanks are supposed to be 41L capacity. And all this was STRICTLY city driving.

now back to my "normal" driving, my current average is around 480km or so before the light goes on. and that's usually using about 32-34 litres of fuel. As I posted in this thread previously, my average was below 400km before the fuel light prior to the first oil change. So that will help a lot if you're a new owner.

btw, for those who don't know me, I drive a 5-speed, non-sport with 14" steelies (aka heavies).

 

Just had my best tank about 2 weeks ago, mostly highway driving, 560km on ~32L of the cheap stuff

 

Hi,
I've had my Fit for 1 1/2 years now and never actually filled it up. However, I had to go to Chilliwack so decided I'd better have enough gas so added to the gas already in tank until the pump stopped. The light still haven't come on yet and I think I'm at 510 kms. I only drive in the City and found that the gas mileage was much better on the highway. I have auto transmission and my model doesn't have air-con.

 

I'm getting 350km on average now after 1300kms. I'm noticing every tank is progressively getting better as well. Hoping I get the good mileage soon or after first oil change.

I'm mostly driving city in Vancouver.

 

The most I've had was 530KM and I have a testpipe too. lol Or else every other time it's around 400-420 before lights comes on. So another 80km?

 

I dont get how some people have so much more mileage then me...
I get 380 a tank MAX and thats all city driving. Only ever hit 400 once. I have to talk to honda about my car = =

 

Is yours 5 speed or Auto? How many KM? Probably the way you drive. lol Shift LOWER!

 

Most I've gotten so far is 515km.

 

5spd. I shift at 3k rpm O_o... Go lower...?
9000km~

 

Do you cruise a lot on 4th going 50km and anything above 60km try cruising on 5th gear, feathering hte throttle?

 

I use 5th with I'm 60km+
My GD is weird apparently.
