About 40 minutes for me to fill the Miata. Between the bikes, my feet, and my bus pass, I go 3-4 weeks between fillups. Not bad.

53 minutes. I drive fewer than 400 miles/month, so gas is not a major expense for me.

We just bought a new Fit. I love it. Originally Posted by maillotpois

I'm liking that Honda Fit more and more. And a rear rack doesn't affect MPG as much as roof rack....

There was one keeping pace with my bus for a while yesterday. They really are very cute cars! And (from the bus window, at least) look mighty roomy inside.

1.2 hours.
But I don't drive it much. It comes out on the weekend (or, this past couple of weeks, it spent sitting at the airport). Unfortunately, those weekend trips can sometimes be long....like to the airport or to my family's place or hauling bikes/kayaks/hay around the state.2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

About 2hours, and I have to fill up every week. My commute is 40 miles round trip on very busy and high speed roads...65-75. I keep my speed down to about 60. I can get away with the decreased speed because I go in pretty early (5am) so there is not much traffic out.

No no nooooo! Most of my friend's back in Oregon were "Schwabies" who worked at Les Schwab Tires, big huge west coast tire retailer. Anyway, keep them at the recommended PSI and make sure you maintain it. Over inflating is asking for trouble, and it will cause the tires to wear all messed up. I dunno what passenger tires run, but my truck is $200 a tire. No small change to maybe save on gas. Originally Posted by maillotpois

1.26 hours for my old CR-V. I'm trading it in for a new FIT this fall! Good to see lots of good things about FITs!
