I updated our fuel economy spreadsheet this morning, and through 17,198 miles, our manual-shift 2007 Honda Fit is averaging 30.7 mpg. Our best tank, recorded at 15,768 miles, is 38.5 mpg. Our worst tank, recorded at 2,259 miles, is 22.4 mpg. Undoubtedly, anyone living outside Southern California with more access to wide-open highways would do better than we have...
However, when you look at the EPA's revised fuel economy estimates for a five-speed Fit -- 28 city, 34 highway vs. 33/38 on the original window sticker -- our results are about where they should be.
