I think your fuel lights are broken!
I went 605.2 miles on 14.149 gallons: 42.8 MPG. The fuel light came on at 550.4 miles. Yet another best tank. I also got a new best trip of 48.5 mpg.
I got new 205/60/16 Bridgestone Ecopia EP 422+s some time during the last tank. No picture of the new tires, but I did manage to park next to another accord at my school who also swapped to Acura RSX rims.
I was expecting a serious loss of traction and increase in 2nd gear burnouts with these new tires, but they seem to have the same traction as my previous WIDER 215/50/17 Yokohama YK 580s. They are noisier in hard corners, but that is likely a result of the taller sidewalls.
I'm still the lame duck in team honda, but SOOO close to not being the worst mpg car. Considering that every other car is a civic, fit, or insight, that is kind of scary.
