Unfortunately, that 41 mpg highway figure is for the AT-equipped HF. We don't know what the city estimate will be, nor the comparable figures for the MT, nor do we know whether there will even be an MT version. Honda's recent history with MT gearing isn't encouraging to hypermilers who've been crippled by the short legs of recent MT Fits & Civics.
