  Last week I turned over 600,000 miles on my 1987 Honda Accord. The internal parts of the engine have never been touched. It runs great and doesn't use any oil. To celebrate the 600,000 miles, my family joined my wife and I, stopping on the spot, taking pictures and celebrating with Oreos and Coke.

  My HAH's empty signal always kicks in around 13.5 gallons. I've pushed it to 20 miles past the empty light and found that this got me to the 14 gallon mark.
  
  Is anyone else getting 17 gallons in their fuel tank?

  I had the harmonic drone noise too. Once the dealer figured it out (of course, at first they thought I was crazy), it seemed to be a relatively easy fix. Now, however, I am experiencing a clunking noise when shifting into reverse and drive. It used to be occassional and only when shifting into reverse, but now is becoming more frequent and when shifting to drive as well. My dealer tells me this is simply the ABS system being activated, but I'm not buying it. Any thoughts or suggestions?

  I own a 2005 accord hybrid, and I have the same clunking nose when I shift between reverse and drive; i reported the problem to the dealer and they said it is "normal". Also, when I go from reverse to drive, and accelerate within first gear, i get a vibration through my gas pedal at 10 mph. Does anyone else have these problems with the transmission? Thanks!

  "At 70MPH the TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID would repeatedly jerk forward then relax...taking "coffee breaks". It seemed impossible to maintain a constant speed".
  
  Look at the Camry hybrid and be happy yourself folks. May God bless Camry hybrid and the unfortunate owners !
