Thanks! My new car, commute, and life are not up to those standards these days. I'm happy with mostly 50+ tanks now.

Despite the similar ratings, the Fit is not as efficient as the old Civic, by at least 10%. And my route is shorter so more of the time is spent in warmup mode. And it's not as aerodynamic. But the hatchback is so much more useful I made a deliberate choice on that point.

My best tank in the new car is 72 mpg.
