Take a manual Fit for a test ride, run it in top gear at about 1800 rpm. How fast does it go? Are you willing to drive it at that speed quite a bit?
Also, get on the highway, how many rpm does it run at 70mph, 60 mph, 50 mph, 40 mph?
Now compare to the automatic version.
Generally lower rpm at speed is going to be better for hypermiling.
