Is your Honda using the older CVCC system? I mean, does it use the parallel fuel path? I've read about them, but never driven one (that I can recall). But I've looked at the newer Honda lean burn system quite a lot and the transition is very subtle. I'm not sure I would be able to to detect it by feel.
