Hi Lars-ss:

___I can almost guarantee that you are receiving a bit of assist in the FE department over those first few miles because of the vapor in the Vapor recovery HW. This vapor addition is not calculated in the Honda algorithm for the FCD for some reason. I have seen this in the Insight many times right after a tall fuel up. I have arrived home with > 135 mpg more then once with all city driving and a steep 120’ climb in my departed Honda Insight as well if that helps

___Good Luck
