Awesome! Glad to see you are saving some serious dough. How many thousands of miles are you going to have to drive before the Fit pays for itself? I have found this to be a more useful tool in conceptualizing "savings."
For example, I've considered buying a small, fuel effecient car as my daily driver. Unfortionately I determined that I would have to drive that car for a very, very long time to pay for itself. Maintenance cost+higher insurance+payments-trade in...etc etc.
I have a feeling that your upgrade is enough that you will end up breaking even alot quicker then I would. (I don't know your cost or trade in value to calculate it myself). Congratulations on your upgrade!
When its time for me to get a new vehicle I think I'll likely go your route and go smaller and for FE.
Have fun with the new vehicle...and with that money you will save.
