Yes.

But it'd be much more cost efficient to buy a faster car.

Although, anyone who gets 24 MPG in a Fit in a fair weather climate is likely a danger to everyone on the road...so you may be better off on roller skates.

My all-time average with my 2012 5MT is 39.9 MPG.

And I redline it fairly regularly.

33. Half of my commute is in traffic, the other half is open road.

I'm ok with it.

I'm right around 35mpg right now with 68K miles on my '09. I used to be around 39mpg but with the change in commute to work (from 26 mi each way - to - 3 miles each way) the economy has seriously dropped - however I don't put the same kind of miles on the car. While I'm not redlining the car, I am a spirited driver as I maintain speed through corners (which there are plenty of in VT) whenever I am on longer trips.

I get around 26mpg, and drive pretty casually... however I drive in heavy city traffic 90% of the time.

As spirited as my coopers let me. Any more I get between 36-38mpg. In traffic I drive on the cautious side but alone on the road I have some fun.

35.6 mpg, 116k on the clock. Redline daily, heel toe-ing pretty much every downshift. Car is a good bit lighter than a stock GE with all the stuff I've ripped out of it.

On my first 24k miles I got 44.5 mpg. 12k miles into this year I'm at 47.0. Yes, I see the redline and yes, I see speeds well past the posted limit- almost every day. Spirited and bad mileage only mean the same thing if you don't know what you're doing.

mike410b- A kid with an automatic who thinks the gas pedal has only two positions could do it. The locals are safer with him in something underpowered and lightweight.
