That's a weird one - replacing the speedometer for fix the chimes. : )
Keep accurate records of before and after the speedo change. It's the same kind of driving, right? In cooler weather, the MPG drops dramatically, so a 3 MPG drop isn't much. I'd go the dealer with your before/after records when you get 2,000 miles on the new speedo, and see what he says. I'd also contact Honda in CA and see if the computer/speedo replacement could make a difference. I'd do that right away. Please keep us informed.

Yea, had they told me prior that it meant replacing the entire speedometer I would have thought about it more before proceeding. I bought the car in May 2017 and the speedometer replacement took place in October 2017, and I live in NY as well so it was getting cold around then so maybe it's coincidence with the colder weather? I guess I won't know till after this summer till I see if the mileage goes back up. I'll PM you my Fuelly links if you're curious to see them Silver.
Yes, I'd like to see your Fuelly record.

Higher speeds really clobber fuel efficiency. Below is the fuel efficiency calculated for a 2016 CVT Fit.
You can calculate the fuel efficiency for any car here.

Yes! This is horrible. I haven't gotten above 40 mpg on a trip in weeks. For shorter trips, it's in the 20s. Overall, I'm averaging about 38, rather than 44 or higher. Warm-up takes longer, and even then, it uses more fuel when it's cold out. Combine that with the winter mixture of gasoline, and driving is costing us more.

38.7mpg average
I've got 5600 miles on my '18 Manual /fit/ and have averaged 38.7Mpg combined city/hwy hith A/C running half the time. I regularly get 42Mpg highway.
Haven't reset Trip B since buying car

It is going to be interesting to see whether the CVT Fits can challenge the manual transmission cars for best real world fuel economy. For the GD and GE Fits, the manual equipped cars typically beat the automatics in the real world by 3 MPG or more.
The CVT CR-Z is rated at 4 more MPG than the manual, but the real world difference that we calculated on the CRZ Forum was that the CVT was about 0.5MPG better. But the CVT benifits, the hybrid recovery of power better than the manual. So I suspect the manual equipped Fits will still provide the best fuel economy.

it was too bad, the trip was only 76.5 miles.
had conditions remained as awesome as it was, and my destination 500 miles away .... I'm confident I could have/would have maintained those numbers.
back to the point = my personal best for 1 road trip = 52.4 mpg (honda numbers). it was a good testament for how good these cars CAN do, with decent conditions, and good Hypermiling

it is def inaccurate. the best way to calculate (imo) is to take the trip miles and divide by the number of gals you fill to determine mpg
or just use fuelly:
2015 Honda Fit MPG - Actual MPG from 493 2015 Honda Fit owners

Milage since last oil change
Figured I'd share the current mpg avg for this oil cycle. This is on 93 octane (from sheets, shell, or sunoco) only, a.c. on when up to speed, and a mix of highway, city, and spirited driving.
