I filled my 2015 CVT Fit yesterday. The car said 38, but calculations said 40. I forget what the tenths were. If I had continued pumping after the pump shut of, the calculated figure would have been lower.

 

The third generation uses the CVT tranny, and does get better mpg !!!!

 

I was averaging 44.7 for about 3,000 miles. Then it got cold, and we got the winter mix of gas, and mileage has dropped.

 

My first fill netted 45.2 mpg calculated and 46.4 mpg per dash gauge.

Hey Silver, how did you get the Fuelly icon in your sig, I can't figure it out and a search found nothing.

 

Let me check with Fuelly.

EDIT: From the Fuelly website, look at the choices in the left column. Select Profile. That's where this forum's URL is listed, so you should be able to do it from there.

 

Thanks, I'll see if I can get it to work.

 

After some searching and massaging, I finally got the Fuelly image inserted into my sig. Thanks for the help Silver!

 

Great! Now we can follow your progress.

 

The gauge is about 8-10% optimistic.

 

I usually see consistently higher readings from the car than calculated or Scangauge II. How do you guys get such great average MPG? I like to think I accelerate pretty lightly, and I usually start coasting to all the rural stops signs in my area about 1/4 mi out. Does fuelly have an Android App to log at the pump? I keep everything in Excel, I just started keeping track of the Fits average and comparing that to my Scangauge II, too.

 

On my first (and only) fill-up, my actual MPG was 2.5% lower than the dash gauge. I realize this can fluctuate because of the many variables, but I hope it's not 8-10%.

Maybe it's because I'm an old fart, but I've fallen back to just watching the tank level. And I can't break the motorcycle habit of resetting the trip meter every fill-up.

BTW, just got my worst MPG ever, but only paid 87.9¢ a gallon for it--the lowest price so far on the Fit. Gotta love them fuel points!

 

I've been resetting and recording gallons, mileage, and cost since the 1960's.

For 87.9, what were you putting into your tank??? We're paying $2.359 - the lowest available.

 

Price was $1.879 but I get $1.00 off with fuel points. They hate to see me pull in with the big truck and get 35 gallons of diesel.

 

I see you have a USB flash drive for music, right? I have a flash drive for music, and it amazes me how that works. It's about the size of a thumb nail, and it hold hours of music. It's so small that I can close the USB cover, and it disappears.

 

Our motorcycle didn't have a trip meter, I just fill it every hundred miles in the odometer do that way there's always plenty in it, and enough left if I have to go a little further to the nearest station.

 

Like you, I keep track of my fuel info in Excel too. Additionally, I input the info into the Fuelly app and will soon have my ScanGauge calibrated (I need a few tank fills to get it as accurate as possible). I love numbers and stats, it's a sickness!

 

Agreed! It's interesting to have a unique set of data on fuel usage to be able to see driving habit changes and changes in fuel, either using a different brand or winter and summer blends. This will the first car I'll be tracking for several years. I first started tracking fuel with our Subaru a few months before it was traded in. I began with the 13 Fit, but it's not my car or daily driver so fuel didn't get written down. My Toyota I had for 15 months or so before it was time to trade it in for the Fit. I got 38 mpg once, driving 60 mph on I-80 with a tail wind. That was pretty exciting for usually getting 29-31 mpg.

I love the Scangauge, and I hope to get fuel calibrated soon too. But with it differing from the car, which is more accurate? One day I'll have to count how many ticks there are on the fuel gauge to estimate how much fuel is left. And compare them. I'd rather not run out of gas.

 

Some have an equation that is dead on...Honda's is always off..usually estimates 1-2 mpg higher than really getting. Every Honda I have had with this device is always off.
