Mpg issue 2011
Hey, I have a 2011 honda fit I purchased last month. Only 43k on it. Everything is going well but the computer is telling me I'm only averaging about 21-22 mpg in the city. That's off of two full tanks. Any ideas? I'd appreciate it.

I had a 2008 Fit, and low to mid 20's was pretty familiar turf for city/slightly-mixed driving. The 2015's have definitely introduced me to a new mileage ball game, with low 30's in town being very achievable.

Look up the EPA estimate for your car. Check tire pressures, accelerate moderately, avoid using the brakes as much as possible, no unnecessary idling, no extra weight in the car. At 43k miles, new good quality spark plugs may help. How's the air cleaner element? Get a K&N air filter, and you'll never have to buy another, and it may help your MPG. Synthetic oil wouldn't hurt, either.

Are you talking about short trips average? There is an overall mileage for the whole tank on the computer also. Do your mileage by hand over the course of a tank full of gas and you should be doing way better than 21mpg. If not you need to change your driving habits and/or make an appt with the service department.

With the temperature dropping, I notice that it takes longer for the blue "Cold" light to go out, and my mileage is slipping a bit. Making so many short trips doesn't help, either. Tomorrow I'm driving to CT to pick up new Blizzak snow tires and plain steel wheels from Tirerack. It will save me $107 in delivery charges and cost me about $40 for the round trip.

Of course I'm not driving in LA so can accelerate relatively slowly & coast a bitbefore breaking. But something tells me either you have a really heavy foot or your car needs some sort of adjustment

I'm in Europe right now (Paris at the moment) and walking around I've noticed that several, although not all, drivers seem to turn on/off the engines at red lights and/or in traffic jams. I haven't seen it, but I hear it when walking around. My guess it's that they are probably doing that to conserve fuel (or maybe they are just bad at using the clutch?
I've also noticed that many of the smaller cars' engines (which are the majority), are noisy like the Fit. I bet their MPGs are very good - makes me wish I could have one.
Although I have not yet seen a GK or GD Fit, I have seen some GE (2nd gen), and at least 3 of them have been hybrid. They have a few minimially different design cues, and their rear bumpers are not very pronounced.

I was in France in June and rented a diesel Renault Clio dCi 90 M/T. The engine would turn off whenever the car stopped moving, like a Prius. The engine started when I did anything including lifting my foot off the brake, touching the GPS screen, activating the turn signal.

The Honda Japan web page says the non-hybrid Fit gets between 61-44 MPG (26-19 km/liter), if my interpretations and calculations are correct.
