MPG for first 5,000 miles on '09 Fit Sport

Total Milage, Comp MPG, Actual MPG, % Diff:

264.3 31.3 27.0 13.6%
447.3 42.5 31.7 25.4%
679.4 32.2 32.6 -1.4%
960.1 37.5 33.3 11.2%
1233.6 32.7 29.4 10.0%
1439.2 31.5 27.6 12.3%
1731.5 36.0 32.2 10.5%
2000.2 33.4 29.2 12.6%
2265.8 33.5 30.2 9.9%
2468.3 41.1 35.8 12.8%
2655.0 35.0 31.1 11.1%
3175.5 46.9 42.5 9.4%
3446.9 32.6 29.2 10.3%
4243.2 43.7 37.5 14.2%
4521.5 36.3 32.2 11.3%
4803.0 34.4 30.9 10.3%
5078.4 35.0 31.0 11.5%

Overall actual avg has been 32.6 MPG - Computer has averaged 10.1% high. I normally do NOT baby the throttle and diving is roughly 50/50 hwy/city, frequent hills with moderate to light cargo. Fit has been driven in Seattle area and surrounding western WA areas (Cascades/Olympics etc). I've been quite pleased - I am confident I can obtain 40+mpg if I do drive with light foot, and have never gotten below 27 mpg (and that was during break-in).

thumbs-up!

This is the manual or auto transmission? I'd expect better mileage after break-in.

Fit is an Automatic and I only use paddles ~25% tops. Road trip through Cascades last weekend avg ~39mpg with average driving and 1 passenger, full gear and small dog. I think car is fairly broken-in...I just don't baby throttle too much - especially around hills in the city.
