We've had 5 tanks in a row of 40+ m.p.g. with them . First for that since buying the car . On the way to another of 40+ . The downfall is that they wear quick . Started at 11/32s , down to about 7/32s on the front and 8/32s on the rear . Plan to get them rotated in a few weeks . They've always been rotated in less than 6,000 miles . Keep them at an average of 35 for the pressure . Use snows in the winter .

Another tank of 41.62 ( 389.2 mis. / 9.35 gals. of 93 w/E10 @ 1 click ) . Eco read 40.3 . The pics are 38.9 miles after the fill on the way to see a relative in a hospital . Eco Plus tires reset at 36 . Have 41.5 showing on Eco ( lower than actual mileage ) with 150+ miles and 2 bars lost . 2 of us .

Mileage dropped thanks to 3 people , trunk full of groceries , and hills . Still happy with results . The Contis are down to about 7/32s in front and 8/32s for rear . That we're not thrilled about since they start at 11/32s . The tire pressure is 35.5 for the Eco + . The Ecopia 422s are slightly under 10/32s in the front and at 10/32s in rear of the '11 Fit . There's over 3,000 on those . Seem to be holding up better .

Yesterday did a fill of GULF 93 w/E10 at 1 click . Calculated 42.068 . 30% city and some interstate with an average of 67 . This tank is carried over from the thread above .

Sorry to report that my back right Conti had a flat last week in North Little Rock, Arkansas. After waiting for 2 hours in the heat for my USAA road service to show up, I finally made it to Wal mart to try and salvage the tire. Unfortunately, it sidewalls were too damaged and I had to buy a Goodyear Eagle II tire to replace the Conti. Not the tire of my choice, but under the circumstances, it was the best I could get.

Another 42.8 m.p.g. overall ( 361.9 mis. / 8.45 gals. ) . E.M. was 41.4 . Discovered it was set at 95 . Reset to 96 to see if less of a gap . There was 3 bars left .
