It was about:
15% on an interstate (I-5 on the west coast) speed range of 65-80mph
30% on a highway speed range of 40-65mph
55% city
The 30% had a lot of turns and acceleration and braking. A windy narrow 2 lane road. I do not consider that to be a good gas mileage arena.

Impressive results. I take it you're not too concerned with limiting your speed too much during a breakin period?
BTW - I'm enjoying your blog. I hope you keep it up for awhile at least.

Thanks Phil.
I have read alot about the break in period and think that mostly what is important is revving the engine really high and braking hard. I have found on other sites that people have talked about hitting the rev limiter and such and they definitely have not broken there engine in properly.
So I think my little Fit will be OK.
That last sentence reminded me I need to name my little Fit soon. I was thinking about Merlin but it lacks passion.

I bought my fit on 4/21. The first week I ran at 45 mpg - unbelievable! I have run at 37 mpg this past week with more stop and go driving; I obviously still can't complain.
