How many kilometers can a Fit run on a full tank of gas?
3 Answers
The Honda Fit can run approximately 600 to 700 kilometers on a full tank of gas, with a fuel tank capacity of 40 liters. The Fit is a compact 5-door, 5-seat hatchback with body dimensions of 4109mm in length, 1694mm in width, and 1537mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2530mm. It is equipped with a 1.5L engine and a CVT continuously variable transmission, delivering a maximum power of 96 kilowatts at 6600 rpm and a maximum torque of 155 Newton-meters at 4600 rpm. The Fit features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
I've been driving a Honda Fit for three years, mainly for daily commuting, with road conditions including city areas with lots of traffic lights and occasional highways. When the tank is full, it shows about 40 liters, with an average fuel consumption of around 7 liters per 100 kilometers in the city, so a full tank usually lasts 450 to 500 kilometers. If driving on the highway, keeping the speed between 90 to 100 kilometers per hour, the fuel consumption can drop to 5.5 liters, extending the range to 550 or even 600 kilometers. The exact mileage depends on driving habits; I prefer smooth acceleration and less braking, and I don’t use the air conditioning too aggressively, which helps extend the range. It’s recommended to regularly check tire pressure, as low pressure increases fuel consumption. I also choose reputable gas stations for better fuel quality, which keeps the engine running smoother. Overall, the Fit is quite fuel-efficient; a full tank is usually enough for a week of commuting, and it’s reliable for long trips too.
As a long-term fuel-conscious car owner, I find calculating range quite crucial. The Fit's standard fuel tank capacity is 40 liters, with an average fuel consumption between 6 to 7 liters per 100 kilometers. This means a full tank can reliably cover 550 to 600 kilometers. This has saved me a significant amount economically, reducing my monthly fuel expenses by around 30%. On highways, the lower wind resistance makes it even more fuel-efficient; in city traffic, careful driving habits are key—like gently pressing the accelerator and avoiding sudden brakes, which can further improve mileage. Additionally, vehicle maintenance affects range. I change the oil filter every six months, keeping the engine more efficient. For long trips, I plan refueling stops using navigation, such as looking for stations when 300 kilometers remain, to avoid running out of gas midway. Choosing the right time to refuel, like early morning when temperatures are lower and fuel density is higher, allows for more fuel to be filled.
