#1 of 5 '06 HAH Software Update and Tax Credit by citywolf Aug 09, 2006 (5:49 pm)
The IRS announced on July 12th that the '06 HAH will now qualify for an increased tax credit ($1300) if the car has the "Calibration Control Update" to improve gas mileage. I went to my dealer for the udate and was told that my '06 HAH will be recalled for the update, but has not been recalled yet. I will get the update in the next 1-2 weeks. Has anyone had the update yet, and if so, how much better is your gas mileage? Replies to this message: citywolf (Aug 19, 2006 8:03 pm) r_ace1 (Jun 11, 2009 9:30 pm) r_ace1 (Jul 04, 2009 9:05 pm)

Replying to: citywolf (Aug 09, 2006 5:49 pm) I got my software update Friday morning (8/18/06), and when I got home, ironically, my recall letter was waiting for me in my mailbox. Since Friday, I have driven about 200 miles, and have noticed maybe 2 MPG improvement in mileage. Not a whole lot. What I have noticed, is that my car now coasts more -- before the update, practically every time I let off the gas, the battery would charge. Now, it is often simply coasting when I let off the gas instead of charging the battery. I have not noticed any decrease in battery power. Other than that, I have not noticed any change in the functioning of the car. Has anyone else noticed any changes?

Replying to: citywolf (Aug 09, 2006 5:49 pm) do you know if this tax credit can be towards the 05 Accord Hybrid? If unknown, how can I find this out. Thxs Replies to this message: r_ace1 (Jul 04, 2009 9:05 pm)
