it does that so it won't fog up the window i believe, all new hondas do it
ORIGINAL: Scroder
No A/C for me---Im in Alaska and may only use it once or twice in the summer. I guess my defrost automatically turns the A/C on even though it doesnt light up the button. My owners manual says even after you switch if off defrost to a different setting the A/C will remain on without the light---how stupid is that

How low is your tank when you fill up? Try this, fill up, drive until you have half a tank left and fill up again. Check your gas mileage.
Then drive until your tank is almost empty & fill up. Check you gas mileage.
I know it sounds crazy but I seem to get better mileage if I fill up at around a half tank.

RE: Where has my mpg gone?
ya that does sound crazy.....
if anything id think you would get beter milage if you took the tank all the way to just about empty....
less weight for each gallon of gas
ive heard of that before... which makes very good sense..
