What it costs to fuel
Across its configurations, the 2018 Fit costs about $1,800 to $2,100 a year to fuel at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis, averaging roughly $1,950. Over five years that is about $9,750 in fuel alone before maintenance, insurance and depreciation — which is why the running cost, not just the price, decides what a car really costs.
Relative to an average new vehicle, the most efficient Fit configuration saves about $2,500 in fuel over five years; less efficient versions spend more.
For context, the average combined economy of small station wagons in this dataset is about 35 MPG. The Fit sits roughly 2 MPG below that mark at its midpoint, making it thirstier than average for its EPA class.
