I recenty filled up when the gauge went to 0 bars (I know I'm such a risk taker). I remember my calclation said there was 1.5 gallons left in the tank.

It will of course sometimes come on on a hill and go off when you regain the flat...the warning light that is, so it can only ever be a close approximation.

Gosh dangit, Kenny!

There you go skewing the database again!

If you went 650 miles and the low-fuel light had just come on, you probably got 70mpg! I reqularly drive 75 miles with the low-fuel light on.

Don't mind me, I just jealous.

Kenny you dirty dog !!!! Either way, that still ROCKS ON !!!! I can't push better than 65 mpg on a trip, and thats heading downhill from the Inland Empire toward the beach (where my job is). Let alone a tank. I have noticed however that I tend to get GREAT gas mileage in city driving, with LIGHT to moderate traffic. The reason ???? Kenny will testify, people aren't so patient here on the freeway in So Cal, and even in the slow lane, 60 is MINIMUM if you don't want to get honked at or passed up and cut off.

I do get honked at, passed up and cut off.

No problem.

55 MPH sure beats walking.

I'm new to the HCH. What is the software bug? I've been wondering what gives with the mpg reading. Resetting at about 60 miles seems like what it's doing - certainly isn't doing what the manual says it's supposed to do. Is Honda supposed to fix it?
Thanks.
