Great post, Colin. I've also had my HCH II a week and can very much empathize with your impressions. The weirdest thing of all to me is the overnight transformation into paying-serious-attention-to-FE, something I gave hardly a passing glance at before. I ride motorcycles (a couple BMW's and a Suzuki sportbike) and rationized those vehicles were more than enough to get me the performance hit I crave (and still with excellent - relative to cars - FE).

I love this new Honda...
