Holy cow! You have really short gearing for an FE car on a Fit Sport auto from '08:
5-Speed Automatic Transmission Gear Ratios:
1st:2.996 - 2nd:1.679 - 3rd:1.067 - 4th:0.756 - 5th:0.550
Final Drive:4.560
Without a transmission swap, look for taller wheel/tire combinations to reduce RPMs at freeway speeds. Honda lists the factory tire size as 195/55-R15. I am confident you can get a 16" wheel that will be as light or lighter than stock and bolt onto your 4x100 hubs. But even with your existing wheels and stepping up to 195/65-R15 gives you a 4.2% reduction in freeway RPMs. Go to a 16" wheel and use 195/65 tires and you'll prolly get 9% or 10% reduction. Good luck.

My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
