Ah. That's cool. Don't think anyone is saying Shiftstyle is the end all be all of shift boots, but they're nice.

Damn, i only average around 26 in my '12 AT Most of my commute is city though.
Anyways, just washed and vacuumed it for the first time in a few weeks. And I buffed the front bumper from hitting a tire :/

unfortunately I think on city the Fit's MPG isn't good, its on the
highway where I usually get good MPG

No non hybrid vehicle gets good gas mileage in stop and go city traffic. To much starting and stopping and way to much idling.

still waiting for some parts. as far as driving to Canada... the food is worth the drive LOL
I drove my Fit to Toronto in May '11 from Chicago. Aren't the Canadian expressways better? I mean, specifically, they have like, pop-up blockers or something because there weren't any ads on the side of 401 or 402.

The gas stations I went to didn't have auto-shutoff, so I had to do some quick math and figure out when to stop pumping. =D

okay, that's cool?
everyone has different driving habits. my part of LA isn't exactly flat either, and with how short some of my commutes are it only makes sense that my mileage suffers. my 09 mt did a little bit better at an average of 28 mpg. i'm just sharing my mpg experience, i personally think that the fit doesn't do well in city driving.

But that's just the thing... it depends on your driving habits and the conditions around town. So you can't make a sweeping statement when there are too many conditions.

As I've said many times in the past... I use my Fit for my job as a delivery guy... can you imagine all the starting, stopping and idling I do? At my worst, I managed a 25 MPG tank (once, a long time ago). My last tank, was a one shot... 35.5 MPG, doing the same job. I pump gas every four, maybe five days.

LOL yeah I just realized that... there's no billboards that I can recall.

I so fucking love canada highway (minus when things get clogged up) they're so smooth and even. the Fit felt so good on ridiculously higher speeds... speeds that felt unstable here in US roads in a Fit.

gas is much more expensive tho

Wondering whether to also put in white low/hi beams and foglights to match or leave it stock to contrast a bit..
