Some people on some sites have been saying they don't get the gas mileage on it that is actually advertised.

Kat, Allison and Ralph said that here too. Allison didn't say what mileage she is actually getting, and Ralph thought 38 mpg highway (as advertised before the EPA metrics changed) was not good enough. If you feel that way, then you feel that way.

The Fit is great in a lot of ways, but it's not the most fuel efficient subcompact. If someone is most concerned about that one thing, then he or she should probably not get a Fit. A little research goes a long way: Civic Hybrid, Yaris, Mini Cooper and Corolla all did better than the Fit for 2008 year models.

I wouldn't drive any of them. Ain't personal preference grand?
