Replying to: hi_tech_rep1 (Sep 25, 2009 6:43 am) Thanks for the quick feedback. Based upon what you have offered and what another friend who is an Ody owner reports (17-18 city MPG), I'm going to call my Honda dealer, schedule an appt, and take advantage of some of that Honda Care I hear so much good about. I'll let you know how things work out.   My fear is that the unusually low mileage might be a precursor to something else. I'm already excessively easy on accelerating (and should not even have to do this). If it were not that I park it inside a locked garage every night and park it outside my office window during the day, I'd almost be suspect of someone siphoning gasoline out from underneath.   And ~ You're right. At the current and past gas prices, it's more like "anatomy-per-mile" (an arm and a leg) than "miles-per-gallon".

Replying to: sonicw (Sep 25, 2009 5:01 am) I have 08 EX-RES.   I also posted earlier with questions on similar experiences with low mpg. I just hit 13.1 on city driving for the first time (also a new low for me). I had the new programming installed by my dealer re: the service notice on the tranny studdering issue between 2nd and 3rd a few weeks before this "new low".   Wondering if anyone has experienced poor mileage after this computer program update? I was getting poor mileage before, but not 13 in city.   My other question was whether anyone had improved mileage after an extended break-in (8k to 10k or after the second oil change)?   Thanks, mkielm Replies to this message: sonicw (Sep 28, 2009 4:52 am) nobo (Nov 26, 2009 7:32 pm)

Replying to: mkielm (Sep 27, 2009 5:42 pm) I took my 2008 Touring into the dealer over the weekend. The computer diagnostics could find nothing wrong or out-of-range. However... my programming had not been done so they did the tranny studdering issue programming while it was in the shop.   I thought I'd share this since my experience seems to indicate that the tranny studdering programming fix may not have anything to do with the low mileage.   In my case, I plan to change gas stations on my next fill-up. I've used nothing but the very same wholesale club gas pumps since I purchased my Ody. Next fill-up I plan to switch to an entirely different independent major gas station and see what happens. I just have a sneaky suspicion, call it a hunch.   I'll let the forum know the outcome when I've calculated my mileage after next fill-up.   The Honda mechanic did agree that 13.1 MPG was excessively low, that diagnostics can't point to anything specifically wrong, the tranny programming wouldn't do anything to help or hinder mileage, and that maybe its related to the gasoline that I am using.

#490 of 491 accuracy of the feul gauge? by cw30000 Nov 26, 2009 (1:15 pm)
Does anyone know how accurate is the fuel gauge? Everytimes I put my car into the garage, and took it out few days later, the gauge always show much lower.   I filled up my tank and drove about 50 miles, 90% highway, the pin was touching (F) when I put the car into the garage on Sunday. When I took the car out today, the gauge is only showing 80% full. Is this normal?   I suspect the garage staffs is stealing gas from their clients/tenants.
