I got gas last week and after driving for couple minute cel came on. Got the codes P2A00 and P1172 which I thought tightening gas cap would fix so waited a week still on disconnected battery and light went away. Soon as I drove for couple min came back on... Anyone can help?

I Googled it and got an Acura site which indicated that those same codes came on this guys car when his oxygen sensor went out. Might be worth it to have it checked out but that may be what it is or not.

p2a00 means your oxygen sensor is dying. I had the same problem. You're going to need a new one, and don't cheap out. You NEED the honda OEM unit. It is a special kind of wideband, and a regular oxygen sensor won't work.

Already only got 13k miles... Is this under Honda warranty? So it's not just loose gas cap?

I'd say that you would be covered under warranty. Check your owners manual/warranty booklet (in case the dealer tries to charge you)...emissions components (like an oxygen sensor) are covered longer than the rest of the car.

Good Luck
