Honda fit only got 32mpg, yet owners are claiming mid 40's. wtfh

 

We had our fit for a full year, never saw a tank over 36 mpg.

Cars aren't light anymore...

 

Drivers and driving style make a big difference, one of my friend's parents have a prius. When he drives it he gets about 45mpg average, his dad gets 56-58 average. He doesn't have a lead foot like I do either.

 

It seems to me that CG has never been kind to Chrysler products. Back in the 60's and 70's when I did quite a bit of wrenching on mostly Fomoco and GM products I owned Mopars and according to CG they were not good at hardly any thing. From what I saw by working on all makes had me change to Mopar and I've been there since 1964.

 

The 22 pound increase plus the dimension enlargements aren't going to help in 09' either.

 

I for one, would give up some performance numbers in favor of a more economical car. I make due with the 140HP from my 98 Avengers 2.0. How many people actually go 0-60 in less than 6 seconds or the quarter in less than 13 seconds? As long as my car purrs like a kitten and cruises down the highway with ease I am happy getting 34MPG at 80MPH. My best trip averaged 36.6MPG from a car that was only supposed to get 32MPG. But I guess to some people cars are still about who's is faster.
