I just skimmed this whole thread again, wasn't/isn't the issue that Honda recalled/asked owner to bring their car back to resolve a issue (reprogram cpu or what ever) that seemed to reduce useage of the battery to avoid battery failure while under warnatty at the expense of MPG. My older brother (so fairly reliable source) has a Accord hybrid (3.0 v6 why?) and lost MPG after a reprogramming?. I know he asked to have it returned to pre reprogramming and they wouldn't/couldn't.
I can understand being irrated by having Honda "fix" my car only to lose 5-7 mpg like my brother claims, if they did it to cover their ass, hit them with the 10k each.
