I have a Honda Fit and it's a beautiful car. I am in love with it, and I don't think I will ever buy another type of car again. The maintenance costs are ultra low, much lower than my Honda Accord.

But there is no way it gets 35 mpg. I have been keeping track meticulously and the maximum I get is about 30 mpg, and it drops to 27 if I do any city driving. If I do only highway driving, I can get up to 320 miles in a single tank, but I'm driving on fumes at the end. I normally get about 280 miles per tank, which is about 27 mpg at 10.6 gallons.

Also, with my 2011 Honda Fit, I'm at 120k miles. I've had 2 sets of new tires, but no other maintenance besides regularly scheduled maintenance.

So I have also meticulously kept track of my mileage, from January 2013 to November 2017 (my wife began driving it in November, and I didn't have an iPhone app to track it prior to 2013). The current average over that time frame is 36.8MPG. Worst tanks I have are when I was only on the interstate, would get 34MPG.

Mine is an '08 - they seem to have gotten heavier in later years. It also has a manual transmission, which offers more flexibility for conserving brakes and fuel. My wife gets more in the 32-34mpg range, but doesn't keep close tabs on it - she also now has a couple car seats and toddlers in the car, so weight penalty.

EDIT: There might genuinely be an issue with your car - I have a 10.8 gal tank as well but routinely get over 400 miles per tank - 370 if I've been driving more aggressively.

Fitniks unite!

MPG on the Fit depends on how you drive it. It hits max MPG at about 55MPH, if I recall correctly.

Now in TX you have highways with 85mph speed limit (most are 75), and in CA people drive as if the speed limit was 85 anyway - which is how I end up with the same mileage as what you report.
