optimal crusing speed/fog light question

just had a quick question. im about to go to vancouver from edmonton on my honda fit, and just had a question in regards to what is the most optimal traveling speed to maximize fuel comsumption while still traveling at a quick rate?


oh and on my fit sport, i just descovered that my front left fog light is cracked, any idea where i can get a replacement? or do i have to get a whole front new bumper?

i believe that 65-68ish is optimal speed and yes you can just buy a replacement fog lamp thing, i dont own a fit but i believe that you dont even need a whole lamp, maybe just the outside glass thing? lol someone chime in please!

65 MPH is the maximum you want. At 70-75 MPH, mileage begins to drop.

Once you replace the fog light, I would recommend protecting it with film, like Xpel or Stonegard.

With regards to optimal crusing speed, I would think this is accomplished by driving at the lowest RPM in 5th gear...

sumo, on a recent trip I set my cruise at just over 100 km/h and managed just under 45 MPG in my 5 speed Sport
