My new fit sport at (1200 km) is getting apsolutly bad milage!
I drive mostly city (Vancouver) and i am using around 12l/100km!
My best tank was empty around 350 km!
I dont know if that is normal or what but i was expecting more than that? I am not speeding or anything , shifting before 3000!
Any ideas?
IS there any chance the milage will get better after a while (engine break in)?

 

MT or AT?
I'm assuming that regardless of which, that you're driving conservatively (ie. keeping rpms 3k and below).
**IF I was driving conservatively getting that bad of mileage, I'd take it back to the dealership & get them to check the codes on your car, and go from there.**

 

Idle relearn?

 

U did your first oil change yet? I had my first oil change at 1000km and it runs a lot smoother after. Just wait and see what happens after it has 3000km on it..........

I can do roughly around 360km/tank FYI. As long as it's above 350km then it's ok for me.

 

Don't forget that if you are running the AC compressor, you will reduce your milage about 30%. This includes using the defrost setting on your HVAC controls.

 

You will see a difference after your first oil change =P

 

Before da first oil change i only got around 350-380kms but afda dat i got 500 or more kms.

 

500km's? Are you on the highway a lot?

 

Yeah, I haven't done my first oil change yet but I'm getting atleast 400km - probably a bit under 400 now but over 380km due to my test pipe.

 

nope...not on da highway, only city driving...the most kms i got is 600 something kms i forgot...

 

Geez, your numbers bite it big time.

I haven't had my first oil change, but today I was at 450km and the 1/4 tank mark. And that was with a LOT of AC use.

Fairly mixed driving, part city, part "highway" (many many lights).

 

after your first oil change the number will be better. before first oil change I was gettting only 380 - 450. and after oil change, well I haven't had a full tank but managed to get 320kms using 25L.. full tank maybe 550ish.

also check your tirepressure! pumped mine up to 42psi front and 40psi rear.

 

Any word on this? Oil change yet / dealer visit?

 

Yeah I drive my Fit pretty hard (fast accel) always, and I'm getting 375-450km every tank. And I don't overfill, I let it stop when it clicks off the first time. I seem to fill up around 30-32 litres every time (I fill up when the warning light comes on because I don't know how long it'll last past that point haha).

Oh yeah, and haven't had the first oil change yet. At about 6000km mileage so far. Oil meter reads 30% life still! rofl...

 

My first service light came on around 5000km. 5000km and already 15% oil life. Now I'm at 8000km and oil life is 70%. Mine eats a lot of oil.

 

I fill up once a week...I drive mostly city (small city with hardly any traffic jams). I seem to go about 275km every week. It usually clicks at about 20 liters...so its pretty close to half a tank. I usually throw another liter or 2 in after the click.

I got great mileage on a recent trip to Halifax though. I filled up here and filled up as soon as I reached my destination. I drove 392km and it clicked at 20.5 liters...I put in another 1.5 liters after the click. 392km/22l is 17.8 km/liter...which works out to 49.8 MPG...right on what Honda Canada calls for.

Tires were all at 37 warm, I have just passed 5000km with the oil life at 50%. I was going anywhere from 100-110km/h on cruise.

 

Wanted to being this back up to see how the mileage was going for others. I did my calculations for post oil change tanks of gas (oil change was around a month ago), and on one tank I beat Honda's numbers (5.2L per 100 highway), others mostly in the 6L range. I filled up today at 579km, still a bit up from empty. Mixed highway driving, fair amount of lights.

Looking at the previous numbers here, as long as I'm in the 6 range I should be happy? I would prefer the 5s with our gas prices on the island.

 

is this true or just a myth? reason i asked this, because i havent had my first oil change yet and i am 6400 clicks still my oil life is 30%. i get around 470-485 km per fill up, highest i got was 495 km and thats most city driving. i shift under 3km. will my gas consumption improve after my first oil change?

 

since i got my fit 2 months ago ive been getting 450kms +

this last tank im running 502kms and i still got a qtr tank left

 

u can get better gas milage with a K20 swap !
my goal for 2009 !
