How many miles will a Honda Fit?
The latest Honda Fit models typically achieve about 33 miles per gallon combined, which translates to roughly 360–410 miles on a full tank, depending on year, trim and driving conditions. In the United States, Honda ended Fit sales after the 2020 model year, but the car continues to be sold in many other markets as the Jazz with similar efficiency.
A quick look at fuel economy and range
The miles you can travel on a full tank depend on the car’s fuel-economy rating and the size of its fuel tank. For the US-market Fit, the most common configuration is a 1.5-liter engine paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). EPA estimates for this setup are about 31 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 33 mpg combined. These figures are influenced by transmission choice, trim, and driving conditions, and older generations show broader variation.
Before listing the key figures, it’s important to note that EPA ratings reflect standardized testing. Real-world results can differ based on speed, terrain, weather, and how the vehicle is loaded.
- Current-generation models with CVT: approximately 31 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, 33 mpg combined.
- Manual-transmission variants (where offered) tend to deliver slightly lower city mileage, with highway efficiency remaining strong; actual results vary by driver and conditions.
- Fuel-tank capacity for many Fits is roughly 11.3 gallons, so the typical mixed-driving range hovers around 360–380 miles per tank, with higher ranges on highways and lower ranges in heavy city traffic.
02 Before you rely on these numbers, consider the following general guidance about the Fit’s efficiency across configurations:
In practice, your own range will depend on how you drive, the terrain, cargo, and climate. Always check the specific EPA estimate for your exact year and configuration and use your trip computer for a real-time range estimate.
Practical tips to maximize miles per tank
To get the most out of a full tank, consider these strategies that are broadly applicable to the Honda Fit and most small cars:
- Maintain proper tire pressure to reduce rolling resistance.
- Drive smoothly; avoid rapid acceleration and excessive braking.
- Keep up with regular maintenance, including air filters and spark plugs.
- Lighten the load and remove roof racks when not in use to reduce drag.
- Use the air conditioning efficiently; at higher speeds, windows up and A/C moderated can help.
Applying these practices can help you approach the EPA estimates and optimize your real-world range.
How to estimate your own range
To estimate your own driving range, multiply the vehicle’s current average MPG by the amount of fuel left in the tank, or use the on-board range estimate if your model provides one. For planning purposes, start with the approximate combined figure (about 33 mpg) and adjust for conditions such as city driving, traffic, and highway speeds. If you know your tank’s remaining gallons, a quick calculation is gallons remaining × estimated mpg ≈ remaining miles.
Summary
The Honda Fit offers strong fuel efficiency for a compact hatch, with recent US-market configurations around 33 mpg combined and a typical full-tank range near 370–380 miles under mixed driving, and higher on open highways. Real-world results vary by year, transmission, load, and driving habits. Note that US sales of the Fit ended after 2020, though the model name and its Jazz counterpart continue in many other markets.
