@Glen – With the advent of CVTs and other technology, a growing number of modern automatic-equipped cars are rated higher than their manual transmission-equipped versions.

@Asdf – That used to be the case. It isn’t any more.

If you cared about MPG you would learn to drive a manual transmission.

I’m trying to figure out why the Auto 2009 Fit is getting better Hwy MPG than the manual? Is the auto geared taller at Hwy speeds over the 5 speed manual?

I have checked the “average readings” time since last mileage reset, with actual tank fills and don’t find it to be off by much. Certainly not 4-5 Mpg. In a recent trip combined city highway about 80/20 we averaged 42 MPG. A far cry from the 33 highway listed by the EPA

I have the same Blue Sensation pearl 2009 Fit shown in the video but w/o the Nav & VSA. Its a great little car, has a lot of space on the inside, i love the USB input- i play my songs from a regular 8GB flash drive.

The mpg i have obtained since purchase range from the lowest of 32mpg to 34.5mpg with about 60% highway/ 40% local. I am expecting better results once the weather warms up and the car is better broken into. The gauge is always off by 4-5mpg unfortunately, but i still use the gauge while driving to position my foot on the accelerator for best mpg.

Overall, its a great little car for anyone thinking about purchasing one.

@Dave – I relied on the Fit’s Average MPG gauge for the highway mileage, not the real-time gauge. Combined mileage is determined by tank fills.

I have a 2009 Fit and you can’t trust the auto MPG calculator on the dashboard. In reality it seems to be about 4 MPG too high depending on how you drive it. Please, in the future, post MPG estimates based on actual calculations from the odometer.
