Just admit, you bought the wrong car, sell it and end the torture. On the other hand you can probably sell it for what you paid, less tax, tags and the stomach lining you've lost from worrying about the fuel economy. -- Tp, -------- __o ----- -\<. -------- __o --- ( )/ ( ) ---- -\<. -------------------- ( )/ ( ) ----------------------------------------- No Lawsuit Ever Fixed A Moron... |

I've been averaging 35-40 MPG *using the A/C.* If you did in fact read carefully, you'd know that my complaint about my '95 EX sedan is with the way it's geared, not the great fuel economy. This from a car that is much heavier than the Fit, rides at least as well, and is more comfortable. It also handles great. In short, if you want to haul stuff and drive a sporty-feeling car, get a Fit. If you want exceptional fuel economy, don't. If you want to improve your fuel economy, follow my suggestions. If you don't, then...don't. If you want good acceleration above 2nd gear, avoid the mid '90's EX sedan. |
