As many of you know. I replaced my 5.0 liter F-150 with a 1.5 liter Fit. Well, I have put enough gas in the Fit to get some decent averages to compare to the F-150. Here is what I have found:
1994 Ford F-150 (17 gal. Tank)
Average distance per tank: 272.53 miles
Average gallons per fill up: 15.877 gallons
Average cost of fill up @ $3.63/gal: $57.63
2007 Honda Fit (10.83 Gal. Tank)
Average distance per tank: 375.52 miles
Average gallons per fill up: 9.357 gallons
Average cost of fill up @ $3.63/gal: $33.97
Drum roll please...
The Ford / Honda Difference
Average distance per tank difference: 102.99 miles
Average gallons per fill up difference: 6.520 gallons
Average cost to fill up difference: $23.66
I am very satisfied with the savings. I believe this vehicle will actually pay for itself.
