It wasn't in a Honda, but I can see Hondas working similarly.

Are you in NH? If so, that's good mileage when you average in the lower mpg for winter. I was averaging 44.6 till the cold weather arrived. then it went down, especially on short trips. It's gradually working its way up.

Yeah, once November hits, my tank numbers fall below the annual average and keep getting worse. I didn't start getting tanks above 44 again until March.

Oh, well. As long as you've got to drive, you've got to try. I'm looking forward to seeing what my grille block does for my numbers this winter- faster warmups and cleaner aero!
