I just rented a 2015 Honda Fit with CVT with 2521 miles on the odometer for a weekend trip in Michigan. I drove 180 miles on the highway between 63mph-65mph with cruise control set. It was a warm summer day on a flat highway with 2 passengers.
I was hoping to break 40mpg but I ended up blowing past it when the trip computer read 52.3mpg at the end of my drive! 9 more miles in the city brought the total trip mpg down to 50.8mpg. Color me impressed!
I previously owned a Civic VX and currently own a Prius so I'm well versed in efficient driving. However, I really wasn't expecting to crack 50mpg. What's more is my two passengers were family I hadn't seen in a while and I wasn't putting much attention into hypermiling as a result. I suspect a lot more could be done with this car with a well dialed-in foot.
I was so surprised with the results, that I started looking around the web to see if anyone else was seeing these kind of numbers. I'm happy to find this thread. Good luck to you, KC750.
