: ECM tuning --argument or what? ziggie 06-12-2008, 06:02 PM Mine --- 22.6 MPG up or down the mountain... well, close anyway!! How can they get 35 MPG out of a Fit with almost the same engine? Has anyone had a dyno tuner do anything for mileage ? There must be a deep secret somewhere to be had !!! bh241 06-12-2008, 06:25 PM How can they get 35 MPG out of a Fit with almost the same engine? 1/3 less weight than the E maybe? :rolleyes: '08 Fit (http://automobiles.honda.com/fit/specifications.aspx) Curb Weight (lbs., MT/AT) 2432 / 2514 '08 Element (http://automobiles.honda.com/element/specifications.aspx) Curb Weight (lbs., 2WD MT/2WD AT) 3433 / 3499 lizzurd 06-12-2008, 06:46 PM Also the Fit has a 1.5L engine vs the E's 2.4L Has anyone had a dyno tuner do anything for mileage ? There must be a deep secret somewhere to be had !!! In these times of tough CAFE regs if there was a way to string out a few more mpg it would be fairly safe to say that Honda would have found it. tribalelement 06-12-2008, 06:59 PM Mine --- 22.6 MPG up or down the mountain... well, close anyway!!

There must be a deep secret somewhere to be had !!! 1.5 vs 2.4 L thats why:twisted: ziggie 06-12-2008, 08:14 PM That starts to explain it, the displacement.:oops: However, my sis Cad CTS V6 gets better MPG.... "O" well!! spdrcr5 06-12-2008, 08:30 PM engine size, vehicle weight, transmission gearing, height, width, frontal area, drag coefficient, tires, etc... many, many reasons. Oh, fwd vs awd is another one you can't discount either. ziggie 06-12-2008, 09:03 PM Larry !! Appreciate your input and I guess all of those things explains it. Shame though -- that GM got it so right and Honda....???? ""Well"", back to the org post. I just thought that some of the gang here might have had some luck having a special tune that helped the MPG or something like that. | ||
