Hey, thanks for the recognition. I've been less active on here lately with a busy life.

The Fit has less mpg potential than the old Civic, despite very similar EPA ratings. It's best tank is 72 mpg vs the Civic's 92, on the same commute.

A couple years into driving the Fit I moved, and my new commute provides less chance for spectacular mpg. It's shorter so the overall fuel usage is better so that's a win. I'm also carrying more people around much more of the time. I have a hitch and tow sometimes which has a BIG impact. Still, 40 mpg towing vs any truck = win.

I'm still doing my thing, but being content with 50's for mpg.
