I’ve been looking into getting a Honda Fit Hybrid, but I’m really curious about its fuel economy. I’ve seen some numbers online, but I’m interested in hearing about real-world experiences.

A Few Things I’m Curious About:

  • Miles Per Gallon (MPG): What are you typically getting? City? Highway?
  • Comparisons With Other Hybrids: How does it stack up against cars like the Prius or other hybrids?
  • Cost Savings: Has the fuel efficiency made a noticeable difference in your monthly budget?
  • Environmental Impact: How do you feel about the environmental benefits of driving this hybrid?

If anyone has insights, reviews, or comparisons, please share! I’m trying to make an informed decision on whether this car is right for me.

I’m a Honda Fit Hybrid owner, and I’ve been getting about 45 mpg combined. This is mostly city driving with some highway. Just make sure to keep up with basic maintenance!

That’s great to hear, sharon44! I read that driving style can really affect fuel economy. What kind of driving do you do most often?

4

I usually get around 42 mpg. I live in a hilly area, and that really impacts my fuel economy. Still, I’m satisfied overall!

5

Hilly areas can be tough! Do you find the fuel efficiency improves if you’re driving on mostly flat roads?

6

Yes, I definitely see improvements on flat roads! I’ve managed up to 48 mpg on a long freeway trip. It’s all about how you drive!

7

I primarily drive in town and get about 44 mpg, but I go easy on the acceleration. I guess patience pays off!

I agree, christopher67! Gentle driving makes a big difference. Plus, regular maintenance keeps the hybrid system running smoothly. No issues so far!

I’m curious, does anyone here use regular gas or the recommended premium? Does it make a noticeable difference?

10

I use regular gas, and I haven’t noticed any drop in fuel economy. Premium isn’t worth it for me. Just keep up with oil changes!

11

That’s reassuring! I’m planning to biofuel my car. Anyone tried that?

12

Haha, I’ve thought about biofuel too! But I’m not so sure about the logistics. Just remember that the Fit’s warranty might be affected!

I just love how zippy my Honda Fit Hybrid is! Had a blast with it during a road trip last summer. It’s practical and fun!

I have a 2020 Honda Fit Hybrid, and I’m averaging around 45 MPG combined. It’s definitely competitive in the hybrid market! Have you looked at the Toyota Prius? It might offer slightly better fuel economy.

16

That’s impressive mileage! I’ve heard the Honda Insight is also fuel-efficient. How would you compare it with the Fit Hybrid?

17

The Insight does get about 55 MPG, but it doesn’t handle as well as the Fit. If you prioritize fun driving along with good fuel economy, the Fit is a great choice.

I’ve had my Fit Hybrid for a year and love the hatchback design for cargo space. Fuel economy is great, and it’s been very reliable! Anyone else have experience with the Ford Fusion Hybrid?

19

I considered the Fusion Hybrid, but found it less fuel-efficient than the Fit. My friend averages around 42 MPG with her Fusion.

I’ve noticed that while the Fit is roomy and economical, it lacks some of the advanced hybrid technology found in cars like the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. This can impact overall efficiency.
