Find out, because IIRC, your cat costs buckets of ducats.

I'll watch this thread with interest, since I hope to join the lean burn club soon.
Robert,
That's probably happening. I sure wish there were a screen to tell you what's going on, or a manual. Anyway, as long as I can keep it from happening often, I'm pleased.

Here's hoping you do join the Lean Burn club soon!

There's a thread currently on honda-tech.com that you should look at.
better gas mileage out of an eg - Honda-Tech
Near the bottom of the first page there's a post by member HXor. The thread is now up to 4 pages and includes a lively discussion of lean burn and FE driving. IMHO the information here at EcoModder is better, but it's an interesting discussion nonetheless.
