    I live in Dallas and there are 2 Honda dealer very close to me to the north and south......and Fits seem to be all over the place.

    How can there be Fits that get lower mileage than my old Civic Si????

    Most Fit owners are getting MPG that's about the same as current Civics and Corollas, so that's what you should expect to get on average. Like all cars, some get better and some worse.

    My Ford Freestyle, which is a pretty big vehicle and more spacious than a Rondo gets 20mpg around town driving and 26mpg highway, and up to 30mpg on the highway if I keep the speed under 65mph, so from my perspective I'd ask the question, what's wrong with the Rondo's MPG? It's doesn't get much better than my Freestyle.

    The main reason the Fit won't get 50mpg on the highway like your old Civic is aerodynamics. The Fit is much taller as compared to older Civic Si...but then you'll find a lot more usable space in the Fit, plus it's a lot safer.

    I'm not trying to defend the Fit's MPG, but just say that when making a buying decision based on MPG, you should use A LOT more sources than a few unhappy folks on edmunds. There are many car reviews that provide real-world MPG results, fueleconomy.com, and other sources on the internet.

    If you do a lot of highway miles and you don't need the extra space of the Fit, then you might want to go with a Corolla or Civic instead of the Fit. But with the Fit, you may find that you use it instead of your Rondo (if you're only carrying 4 people) becuase the Fit can carry 4 just fine with quite a bit of stuff in the back.

    My Fit MPG is betweeen the low and high 30s based on non-highway and highway use...yes, I'm only a single example, but I reflect more of what the average Fit owner is getting for MPG, and closer to the EPA estimate.

    Another thing with the Fit is that the driving characteristics, steering, handling, etc are really great. You might want to look at the Mazda5. It's like your Rondo only with better driving characteristics and sliding doors for easier entry/exit. The MPG is a little better than the Rondo too.

    Hey, how do you quote just one line of someone's post???

    Anyway, thank you, bobw3--lots of good info in your post.

    Unfortunately, we have to carry 3 kids and either a cello or a large dog (luckily, the dog does not go to cello lessons). I checked the hatch, and there IS enough room for the dog, though I don't know if he'd like sitting there. He does sit in back in the Rondo, but he has more window space there.

    We actually test-drove the Mazda5 before we bought the Rondo, and we like the Rondo a lot better, though we did love those sliding doors! But the Rondo rode better, and had 7 seats rather than 6. The Mazda also felt kind of tinny, and less powerful (we got the V6 Rondo).

    But I do miss my CIvic Si!!! It had 183K miles on it, and was going strong--we just couldn't fit into it anymore. As a 1992 model, the center seatbelt was lap only, which works with a baby seat, but not with a booster.

    "What rpm is the FIT auto running at 60 MPH?"

    With my 2008 Fit AT - 2200 RPM @ 60 MPH
  • batrobbatrob Member Posts: 2
    Greetings. After much research inculding using this forum, I bought a 2008 honda fit sport silver AT last saturday. I previously had a 2003 toyota highlander.
    I'm also curious about the idle learning procedure. I dont have a problem trying it but I highly doubt the dealer did ILP.
    It came with 56 miles and it now has a 280 miles.
    I filed it up on "E" 8.96 gallons so I'm thinking its roughly around 25mpg(280 /10.08gallons)?
    Does anyone think I should wait till the offical break in period is over till I do the ILP?

    Driving:60% city,40% highway. Some stop and go but mostly city driving.

    Other than that ,excellent car. Its my mini-SUV :)

    I've got a "hack" on my A/C system in my 2006 Accord, that gives me full control of my A/C. When defrost is selected, the A/C kicks on, but I can turn it off if I prefer, which I do regularly when clearing ice off my windshield (the A/C will still run, despite the ice on my windows). I run the heated mirrors and front and rear defrosters, without using A/C.

    It's not like you can't press "A/C" if they do decide to fog.
  • thegraduatethegraduate Member Posts: 9,731
    NO NO NO NO NO!

    You calculate mileage based on amount pumped divided into miles driven - not tank size.

    1.) Fill up car
    2.) Drive until feel you need to refill
    3.) Fill up again
    4.) Divide mileage driven since last fillup (for example 280 miles) into gallons pumped the second time(example 8.96 gallons). 280 / 8.96 = 31.25 MPG

    Tank size has nothing... NOTHING... to do with your MPG.
  • zrgzrg Member Posts: 2
    Wow, I had a 2002/2003 (don't remember year) Toyota Highlander too (before my dad sold his car and took my mom's car, who then took my Highlander while I was at college). And I also got a silver 2008 Fit Sport AT!

    Anyway, that's not how you calculate mileage. You divide the number of miles you've traveled since the last full fill-up by the number of gallons it takes to fill it up back to full. For your case, it would be (280-56)/8.96 = 25 MPG.

    I picked up my '08 Base Fit with a Manual Transmission on Friday, and promptly brought it on a 250 mile road trip.

    My first tank yielded 38.4 mpg (which... wow. I was traveling 70-80mph and expected far worse results from the first tank)

    The second tank was 34 mpg - this was a lot of city driving, with the air conditioner on.

    The third tank was 31.8 mpg - this was all highway again, mostly hanging out around 80 mph. It was very windy, so perhaps that decreased my fuel efficiency.

    I couldn't love the car more. Everyone has loved the car and is shocked at it's price. (I subject everyone to an actual demonstration of the seat configurations.)

    I think I have pretty good justifications for seeing a decrease in my mpg - also, there were two other people in the car and all of our luggage.

    Thanks for letting me spy on you all while I was researching the vehicle and awaiting its arrival! :blush:

    You can set it to the defrost setting and not have the AC come on as long as you don't turn on the fan. This works well when going down the highway because you get enough airflow coming out of the defroster without the fan being on. I drove this way this morning coming to work. It's humid out and the windshield started to fog, so I left the fan in the Off position and set to Defrost I had the temp to about medium and the windshield stayed clear. This won't work in all situations, but it can help.
  • greytailgreytail Member Posts: 17
    The purpose of the AC running when engaged in defrost mode is to make sure the AC compressor gets lubricated during the winter months.

    what is getting lubricated?
  • backybacky Member Posts: 18,949
    The compressor seals. I've often heard it's a good idea to run the A/C at least once a week or so during the winter months to keep the seals lubed, so that refrigerant doesn't leak.

    But actually the reason the A/C runs with the defroster on is to dehumidify the air coming out of the defroster vents and thereby clear the windows more effectively.

    The ILP is supposed to be done at the dealer before you take delivery.
    It may or may not have been done.

    It only takes a few minutes of actual work on your part and perhaps a half hour of Idling for the car to warm up from a cold start while idling.

    You don't have to stand there the entire time. Just check back every once in a while. :)

    What does ILP stand for???? :confuse:
  • thegraduatethegraduate Member Posts: 9,731
    ILP = Idle Learn Procedure.
  • kipkkipk Member Posts: 1,576
    A couple of years after getting our 03 Pilot the mileage dropped about 20% for no apparent reason. Someone on the Pilot Real world MPG forum mentioned the ILP and how it had helped their mileage. I did it and the better mileage returned. Here is a link to the TSB. The ILP procedure is on page 3, left column, 2nd item.

    http://www.hondalac.com/service/Bulletins/x02-029e.pdf

    You will notice that the ILP is supposed to be done whenever any of several fuses have been disconnected, including the "Get Ready" after some of those fuses are re connected. Also when ever the battery has been disconnected.

    Here is an easy way to do the ILP. Recommended!

    kipk, "Honda Pilot Real World MPG" #201, 30 Dec 2006 5:02 am

    If it has already been done, doing it again won't help.

    I've gotten a lot of "flack" concerning the ILP. A dealer will tell you it only affects the quality of idle. However, It brought my Pilot mileage back to the 18-19 mpg local driving, from the 14 mpg it had dropped to. My battery had been disconnected to find a wiring problem just prior to the mileage drop.

    I don't know why it works.
    Keep in mind the Pilot under the new EPA ratings is 15-20 for 4wd. We consistently get 18-19 local and 23-27 road, depending on speed load, etc.. Have gotten near 28 on a 1K RT to Indiana from Georgia, at 60-65 mph.

    My take is that doing the ILP, we had everything to gain and nothing to loose! You may feel differently. :shades:

    I don't own a Fit yet. So the only reference I can give is for the Pilot, Ridgeline and our CR-V.

    This is a outdated print out on my neighbors Ridgeline MPG. Keeping in mind the 15/20 rating. The 3/16 entry includes near 150 miles of towing a 3000# Trail Manor Camper. The 10/28 entry is a trip at 65 MPH. (He usually sets his cruise at 75 mph.)

    He did the ILP when he brought it home "New" from the dealer! My son's Ridgeline reflects similar mileage. He also did the ILP when he got it home from the dealer.

    Best yet today. 35-57 MPG.%75 freeway %25 city... 2008 Sport AT.
  • ohthelawdohthelawd Member Posts: 17
    Excellent!

    This is my first post. I bought an '08 Fit Sport MT over the weekend. Just made my first fuel stop this morning. 285 miles on 8.53 gallons yielded 33.4 MPG. Needless to say, I'm elated. I'm hoping things get even better with break-in. My commute is about 13 miles each way, but the traffic is a crapshoot. Some days I go 55mph all the way and maybe stop at a light or two. Other days, it is stop-n-go, and it might take me ~1hr to go 13 miles. My wife and I _were_ a two SUV family, but once we got her a Pacifica for hauling the family, I knew I needed to get rid of my Outlander (getting ~20 MPG in it). I am loving the new car thus far (and that is from someone who is 6'3", 240lbs... :) ).

    Please look at your calculations and the amount of gasoline you put in the first time and the next time.....did you stop at the first clicking stop of the gas pump after refilling a tank that originally had a full-up-to-the-top tank ...it is had to believe you made a 57 mpg unless you were traveling 15-25 mph and even then it would be hard to make 57 mpg..... :confuse:
  • ohthelawdohthelawd Member Posts: 17
    Are we sure he didn't mean "35-point-57 MPG"? :confuse:
  • greytailgreytail Member Posts: 17
    TNX for the heads up. I agree. ever hear of a typo? I got 35.57 MPH. Just a wee bit over 35&1/2 MPG by 7/100's.....
  • 07cemanual07cemanual Member Posts: 4
    Perhaps - may also be to keep the dew point of the air hitting the inside of your windshield lower than its temperature.
  • greytailgreytail Member Posts: 17
    Yesterday took a little trip a little over 100 Miles each way in my 2008 Sport AT. Filled the tank at local gas station, setting pump on slowest notch and stopped pumping at 1st cut off. The trip was highway about 70 miles each way with about seven red lights which all but one caught us going and coming and rest city driving. Lots of hills to go up and down on this East Ky. Commute. Driving at 60 MPH using the paddle shifter, tires are at 35PSI running the AC. When we got home we filled the tank at the same station using the same pump, same settings and stopped pumping after 1st cut off. The little Fit returned a 36.87 MPG the best ever. Very well pleased with its performance

    I read read with great interest and attention the comments by many people kind enough to share their experiences and attitudes with the rest of us. I expect to bujy a new Fit Sport later this year so these comments are very useful to me as I evaluate my options.

    I appreciate fuel economy as much as almost anyone, but I see a lot of messages about stretching the mpg by doing things that would make me wonder what is wrong with me.

    I LIKE driving, but if I have to drive in a way that makes driving unpleasant, then I will no longer like driving and will consider not having a car at all. I will not drive without A/C if it is hot in the car. I will not coast when a little gas would keep me going with the flow of traffic. I will not do many of the things that are mentioned on this board as ways to raise the mpg. I believe sometimes the prize becomes greater than the purpose. I will avoid speeding and will generally stay at or below 65 on the freeway. I will avoid speeding up and slowing down foolishly, I will not slow to 60 when the traffic is going 67, so that I can save 10-20 cents on my 30 mile trip. I will not turn my engine off during a red light stop that promises to be longer than a minute, especially on a warm day. I will read the tire reviews and buy the ones that have the best reputation for practical driving economy along with safety. I will keep them inflated to the high end of the recommended range but will not over inflate so as to save a dime here and there while making the ride too harse.

    I believe driving is a necessity and it can be done in reasonable comfort and as economically as convenience allows. Beyond that I will not allow my car to become a too-tight corset or something that I have to consider a mugger trying to steal my pennies. I believe that an ATTITUDE of economy will cause, over time, sufficient moderation of wasteful practice to achieve a reasonable result. I do not expect to win the prize but I do expect to have more fun than the winner.

    You're not alone. My 2008 Fit MT got just under 36 mpg on its first 10 tanks of gas, and I drove it the way I always drive, which includes zooming on the highway at 80. I haven't averaged the mpg since then but I'd guess it's about the same. I'm not doing without A/C. I'm not doing dangerous stuff like freewheeling down hills. I'm sure as heck not going to turn the car off at stoplights. If I were willing to be uncomfortable and in danger just to get better mpg, I could have gotten a motorcycle and doubled the mpg not just squeezed out an extra couple.

    >" I do not expect to win the prize but I do expect to have more fun than the winner. "

    True, you won't win the prize! As far as fun goes, I find winning more fun than loosing. Every time I beat that EPA rating by 15-20%.. I win. And it is FUN!
  • wgewge Member Posts: 16
    The last tank on our Fit returned 40.85 mpg. The car was filled at the same station and with the same pump to the first shutoff click just as the previous fill was done. The mileage differential was 354 miles and the fill took 8.666 gallons. I have fun and enjoy the drive in the Fit. I do drive in a way to help conserve fuel but I don't engage in more extreme forms of hypermiling. But as kipk says, beating the EPA ratings is rewarding.

    Hey, if you don't want to adjust your driving to save money, that's fine, and totally up to you. I need to save any bit of money I can, and I really don't care if every single person on the highway passes me. I stay in the right lane, and I make it to where I need to be, on time. To each his/her own. :)

  • thegraduatethegraduate Member Posts: 9,731
    I go to the Gulf Coast regularly from Birmingham, AL (my parents live there, on the beach, so naturally I visit them :)). I do the same thing you guys do in my Accord. I don't drive under the speed limit, but occasionally I do actually OBEY it; especially since I-65 isn't too congested outside of Birmingham or Montgomery. When I follow the limit of 70, I tend to see an average of 38 MPG in my '06 2.4L 5AT Accord EX. City mileage doesn't match the Fit (although not bad for a car this big and quick), but on the highway, I feel like it can basically match the Fit step-for-step.

    Although, if I get power-happy, that Fit-matching mileage disappears and drops back to around EPA numbers (33-35 when running 80-85). :blush:
  • ohthelawdohthelawd Member Posts: 17
    Sounds like me. I live in Chelsea (AL), and my mother-in-law lives down in Seagrove Beach, FL. We head down 6-8 times a year. Unfortunately, with a wife, 2 kids, and a dog, the Fit takes a breather while the Pacifica becomes the family hauler! :)
  • thegraduatethegraduate Member Posts: 9,731
    Ah, then you're pretty familiar with the stretch of road I'm talking about. I live in Hueytown, go to UAB, and work off of Valleydale at 33/40 as an intern.

    Glad to find another Bama family represented here. :)

    Driving is not really a necessity. We have made it a necessity because most Americans are too darn lazy to investigate any alternatives. I bought my Fit for purely recreational purposes. I get to work the same way I have been getting to work for the past 10 years - I ride my bike. I have made decisions on where to live and work based on my ability to bike to/from work. If I can't bike my commute, I won't do it. As a result, I stay fit and trim AND save a ton of money on gas. More and more people are realizing that driving is not a necessity. It's amazing how high gas prices make us realize we really can live without cars.

    That all being said, I LOVE my Fit's gas mileage. I have had the car for about two months now (and have only filled it up once) and estimate that I got an average of about 36.2 mpg (this includes A LOT of stop-and-go city driving). I have a sport 5-speed manual transmission. This really is a great little car!!
  • zombietom3zombietom3 Member Posts: 74
    I appreciate all the comments, especially yours. For over a dozen years, ending about 18 years ago, I did not own a car. I rode my bike for errands, carried groceries on the back, had two bikes so I could train on the carbon fiber road bike for fun and ride the city bike for function. I rode or walked to the train station and took the train to work where I walked the other end. I did that until the second bike theft. At that point I gave up and joined the car-commuter class. I still trained on the road bike every chance I could for many years. Now time constraints and weary body parts leave me just one way to stay fit. I have a heavy duty recumbent stationary bike and have put many thousands of miles on it. I envy those who can still fit a bike commute into their daily routines. Hoorah to you.

    I doubt that I'll ever be able to afford to retire, but if I did, you can be sure that the bike/s (still in my garage) would go with me and daily riding would come back, even if less intense than before.

    I'm not sure If I really belong among such hypermiling gurus but I am interested in how my Fit compares to the others out there, and if there is some subtle point I am missing. I have a 2007 normal automatic and I do probably about 90% city driving, if not more. Basically I use it to deliver pizza. Anyway, I haven't calculated the mpg exactly, but from basic calculations It seems as though I am getting about 28-29 pretty regularly. I haven't done any tune-ups or anything yet, but I do change the oil regularly. Any other people out there with a similar model have input to give?
  • damian1962damian1962 Member Posts: 28
    I'm getting a 24-25 mpg on my fit. It's been hot in puerto rico (in the mid 90's). the ac doesn't get cold enough in city and it's on 3 & 4, once i hit the freeway my ac goes from 2 to 3. If i have to speed up i do (80) but usually I average 65. My trip to work and back and sunday drive involve 50/50 city/highway so i'm not sure what's going on but i figure i should be getting 30-31 mpg if anything. my tank fills up with 32 bucks for 10.8 gallons and i'm getting a total of 240 miles before the light turns red and i need to hit a pump in about 5 to 10 miles. I'm having a fit, to top it off my ride is a manual transmission so why am i not getting what most of you guys are? :mad:
  • thurst1963thurst1963 Member Posts: 42
    GOOD luck buddy I have 2008 sport fit auto tran 90% highway 10% city and I have never hit 30 mpg and the dealer said that this is within epa guide lines sounds like bull to me but the 1st 1000 miles I only get 18 mpg I love the car but the MPG is killing me I was getting 31 highway with my 6 cyl maxima I traded in HUMMMMM strange
  • thegraduatethegraduate Member Posts: 9,731
    You're driving your Fit in the same places and manner that you drove the Maxima getting 31 MPG?
  • bobw3bobw3 Member Posts: 2,989
    A lot of posters with good MPG and a few with not-so-good...typical with any car. But I do have to say that the AC doesn't cool the car that great, but we'll see how it is after I tint the windows.

    I "watch" this forum, so I know there are discrepancies. I know occasionally some people (not implying this person to whom I've replied) don't always tell the whole story, or don't measure their MPG properly. Somebody in the Accord MPG forum was mad because they were measuring mileage against the capacity of their tank (350 miles by 17.1 gallons = 20.41mpg). When we talked more to them, they disclosed their method for detremining mileage, and figured out they weren't using more than 14 gallons, which equates to 25 MPG - a big difference.

    I don't know about the A/C in the Fit; it is probably lower capacity than the Civic or Accord, both of which cool very well; I know, I live in AL. It's supposed to be 88 today, and its only May!

    Awesome. I work on Inverness Pkwy (also off of Valleydale). Tell me what color your Fit is, and I'll keep an eye out for you! (I'm in an '08 Black Sport). Maybe we can draft together down Valleydale :)

    Actually, I'm an illegal particpant here. I drive a Graphite Pearl 2006 Accord, as well as a Maroon 1996 Accord (which now has 181k miles on it). The UofA tag on my 2006 will give me away.

    I just like the Fit, and while my folks are shopping for a second car (they're closing on on the Nissan Versa though) I've been hanging out in this forum.

    These are my rides!

    Good to see you're a Bama grad, too. (I'm c/o 1998, B.S. in Finance).

    Once again, an imposter. I'm at UAB, and going to MSU for Grad School in 2009! Hahaha...

    Gang,

    We live, as you know, in central Texas. Yesterday it was 97 and the Fit A/C did an outstanding job. We do not have tinted windows - my husband and I can't stand them.

    Years ago when my hubby was doing his res at St. Paul Ramsey in MN we had an old Ford Fairlane 500 and the A/C couldn't cope w/ MN summers....

    Regards,
    Bubba :)

    Is this idling around? Usually at moderate speeds, most A/C systems will provide sufficient cooling. Being stopped in traffic poses more difficulty for the A/C though, as the engine heat isn't dissipated by wind.

    It was all in-town driving for about 1 1/2 hours in the afternoon. Some was stop and go in heavy traffic. Thanks.

    Regards,
    Bubba :shades:

    My AC cools really sufficient. Matter of fact I have to turn it off with temps. in the 80’s and below. We will see how it does when temps soon reach the 90s. I do have all my windows tinted with 90/10 on all but the front windows where it is 70/30. I also have a tint strip on the windshield. We do all our autos this way. Keeps them cooler and is a lot easier on the interior keeping sun out.
