Leaf is electric.

Fit is a 1.5 4 cylinder gas engine with 8 spark plugs.
It and the gear box take 5w15 or 0w15 motor oil.
I was able to get 44 mpg with the 5-speed.

The new one is an automatic with sequential shift
available through flappy paddles. It's still a 5 speed.
I don't know if it's better or the same.
R. is unlikely to get worse milage since it shifts
way sooner than she would as an automatic.

Haven't touched a leaf.
The Fit drives like a Honda.
