I was pretty pleased and relieved with the dry compression test. They're pretty close to each other and to stock, considering this car has 227,000 US miles on it. I decided against the wet compression test for now. I'm wrestling with a stuck oilpan and the heat-gun shaping of my wheel skirts.

I rarely use 0w30... and actually haven't in probably 2 years. But 5w30 is actually what Honda calls for in this car.

It did show the same symptoms, near empty tank or full tank. The second replacement fuel pressure gauge seems to have solved it so far.
A point of reference for EM readers in the USA: the Autozone fuel pressure regulator failed within two weeks. When I did a warrantee replacement at Autozone, I opened the box for the new one to check it out. Inside was a clearly used and damaged regulator. The item I have installed now came from O'Reilley. Just sayin' ... in fairness, I should say O'Reilley rented me two faulty pressure testers before getting a new one to me. One clerk even tried to charge me for one of 'em. Manager fixed that. Nonethelss, I prefer O'Reilley.
