First off, new for 2008 models, the EPA is using a new set of fuel economy measuring rules that greatly reduce the claimed milage.http://www.edmunds.com/advice/fuelec...htmlBasically, that means that the Fit in 2007 which claims 33/38 is only going to be claiming 28/34. Same car, things are just measured different: more accurate to how people really drive.Starting in 2008 ALL cars milage will be lowered like this, so as you start seeing new window stickers, yours will be closer to theirs again.At 26 and 25, you're not doing too bad.I have only a couple of hints:1) 55mph uses a LOT more gas than 65.2) Having 3 passengers is not figured into the reported mpg...if you take people around, your milage will go down.3) Try and keep your antique bowlingball collection at home, if you can. Heck, even an extra 30 lbs in the trunk can cost over $100 a year in gas.4) Make sure your air filter is in good condition. Air is just as important as the fuel.5) Make sure you're not using E85 ethanol blend gas. It's less potent, and you'll get less milage6) Huge body kits/spoilers and after-market large wheels can take a suprising toll on milage.7) You mention you drive carefully for milage: that's great. A lead foot costs money!8) Even though you are getting only 25 and 26...that's still significantly more than most cars with your mix of city and hwy.
