Everything dejapooh said with the exception of the multiple cars. PHILL is good for one small car say a GX or Cavallier, if you are doing up to 120 miles per day in these cars you will be fine. Beyond that, large CNG SUV or truck, or multiple cars you will want an FMQ2-36. Pumps twice as fast and has the ability to fill two cars at the same time. Head swap on a FM model takes 15 minutes, PHILL rebuild ro exchange a month maybe. New FM head $550 plus service call, PHILL $2000 plus tear town from wall, plus shipping, plus re-install on wall, plus this process can only be repeated upto three times, FM's indefinate as far as I am aware of.

dejapoo, can you outline the issue for me regarding the GX filters that you mentioned? Are you talking about the fuel filter. If so, what's wrong with them?

I mean the fuel Filters. They are expensive, Only dealers are supposed to replace them, and you don't have to deal with them in other kinds of cars.

I was told by the dealer the filters are about $600. Is that about right? Also how often do you change yours? I was told around every 10,000 miles or when the oil indicator reaches 10 to 15 %. I've only had my car for a month now and I'm at 90% already.

You change the oil every 7500 to 10000, when the oil light is showing 10% or so (according to the Honda people I talked to, the car "Senses" the oil, and determines when you will need new Oil.
The Fuel Filter should be less (I hope it is at least), and is supposed to be replaced every 30,000 miles.
There was a guy here who said he went 100,000 miles one one filter and it wasn't a big deal. That you could replace it when performance is affected by the water in the filter or something like that... I don't know.
