TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Honda Fit

Honda Fit Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2015	Hondas have been lagging the leaders in fuel economy. But with new "Earth Dreams" engines and CVT transmissions (pardon the redundancy), they've closed the gap. When fitted with the CVT (continuously variable transmission), the Fit LX rates 33 mpg city, 41 mpg highway in the EPA's tests. The city rating is especially impressive, and both figures are much better than the 2013 Fit's 28/35 (with a five-speed conventional automatic) and a little better than the Nissan Versa Note's 31/40 (with a CVT). You won't find a higher EPA city figure in any other non-diesel, non-hybrid car you'd want to drive. The highway figure, on the other hand, is matched or slightly exceeded by a few somewhat larger cars. Small yet tall hatchbacks are aerodynamically challenged. With a bit more poundage and stickier tires, the Fit EX and EX-L don't test quite as well, with scores of 32/38. But I doubt their real-world fuel economy would differ significantly from the LX's. The days when manual transmissions ruled the EPA charts are history. With a six-speed manual, the Honda Fit rates 29/37. While this is better than the 2013 5-speed manual's 27/33, the much zippier Ford Fiesta ST isn't far behind with 26/35. For those who like to row their own, another Fiesta variant, the SE EcoBoost with a three-cylinder turbocharged engine, is the way to go: 31/43. In my real-world suburban driving the trip computers of the Fit, Versa Note, and Fiesta SE EB all regularly reported averages over 40 and as high as the low 50s (with infrequent stops and a feather-light foot). see full Honda Fit review

2013	4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	driven normally, fuel economy better than EPA results. (But drops fairly quickly when trying to merge or accelerate along with normal flow of traffic) see full Honda Fit review
2012	4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Owned less than a week but drive home after purchase was 60 miles and indications are the true mileage will exceed the EPA numbers as it shows 36mpg for half city and half congested freeway travel see full Honda Fit review
2012	4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Capable of 40 mpg on the highway with A/C running, 2 passengers and a load of cargo. see full Honda Fit review

2011	4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	30+ MPG even with a lot on stop and go. I got the 5 speed which actually may lower my MPG but I love the ability to punch it when I need to! Wish it had a 6th gear for 70 mph+ I want to see if I can hit 40-45 MPG going on I-10 doing 60-65 the whole way see full Honda Fit review
2011	4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Regularly get 32-36 in town, have gotten 40 on the highway. see full Honda Fit review

2010	4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Loses out slightly to the Fiesta in fuel economy. see full Honda Fit review
2010	4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Although we got 38 mpg over the course of our 32,000 miles, we actually got better mileage with our previous 07 Civic over its lifetime and powertrain performance was much better for the Civic. Overall dissapointed with mileage. see full Honda Fit review
2009	4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	I rented the car for a weekend & my gas mileage from Phoenix, to Flagstaff & back to Phoenix was only 28.8 mpg This car had an automatic tranny. Engine rmp always sounded BUSY & noisey see full Honda Fit review

2013	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Swapped the paper filter for a K&N filter, kept the original air box. Get over 24mpg city, close to 30 on the freeway w/ moderate hills. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2012	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	For a small crossover/suv its pretty good. Went on a 400 mile round trip to the mountains (5,500ft elevation) for the weekend and back (2,00ft elevation) and averaged 26mpg. Day to day driving I get about 25.5mpg without trying to be conservative. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual AWD	40+ mpg constantly. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review

Volkswagen Tiguan Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Our Tiguan ranges from 20-30 mpg, between city and highway cruising. It's consistently about 5 mpg thirstier than the GTI. Blame the extra weight, but there's less than 400 lbs of that, IIRC. Or blame the AWD, but it's part-time only. I blame the large aero cross-section; it stands about a foot taller than a Golf. If VW would offer a TDI in the Tiguan, they'd sell as many as they could spare to the US market. I'd be standing in line. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Bring the tdi diesel to the US and problem solved. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Less than I had hoped for at around 25mpg average. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
2009	4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Its OK, but could be better. I see 21-22 suburban, as much as 28 on long highway trips. Premium fuel is the bigger drawback. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review
