I was going to be nosey and ask how much you paid too. At my Honda dealer I saw a dirt colored '03 - CVT - 42,000 miles for $17,997. (They also had a OSBM '06 IN STOCK, probably sold though)
You forgot to tell us what color? Also, remember the HCH MPG readout is normally a bit off - example: mine will say 54.1 mpg but when I calculate it at the pump it'll be 49 mpg. Just the nature of the beast. Great you've pumped up the tires. The weather right now is PERFECT for hypermiling. I've got 370 miles on my HCH's tank right now and it's reading 54.1.
If you got the grey interior and ever ruin the seat covers keep me in mind, I got a new spare set a few months ago just in case anyone ever needed any as they won't fit a '03 and the color is wrong anyway.
Keep us posted how it's turning out for you. On the same trip to TX I normally only get around 41 mpg.
