for me, i prefer the quickness vs squeezing out mpg. i really dont care about gas consumption at this level as it's regular gas and it doesn't cost that much to begin with. however, i would prefer the car had a larger tank so i dont have to fill as often.

I feel the same way Ken and I know I'll be limited by the cvt but I feel this engine seems like it was very limited from the factory as far as being able to breathe so at some point I hope someone comes up with a exhaust header for this engine but im happy just being at stock Honda fit levels right now lol
