After 30 Years, It Finally Happened To Me...
I have a 2007 TSX and according to my trip computer, I average about 29 mpg. As with most drivers, when the light comes on I usually only need to fill around 13.5 g of gas for a supposedly 17.1 gallon tank. The most I've every filled my tank is 15.5 gallons after driving 450 miles from my last fill-up, which is around another 60 miles more after the light comes on. This morning I noted that I had driven for 450 miles since fill-up and so I presumed that I had at least another 1.5 gallons left, unfortunately, after just 4 miles I ran out of gas! AAA gave me at most a gallon to make it to the nearest station where I filled it up with ONLY 14.5 gallons! This means that although it has a 17.1 gallon capacity, you only have 15.5 gallons of use.

Out of nowhere, I was havnig excruciatingly slow internet speed on Comcast. The Comcast tech advised that my Motorola SB 4100 was at the end of life and that I should upgrade. Skeptical, I purchased this modem which is a DOCSIS 3.0 (and backwards compatible) modem. It worked. I went from a 2mbps download speed to over 17mbps. What a difference. There was one installation glitch that you need to be aware of. When you hook up the modem (connect the coax cable, connect the ethernet cable, and plug it in, that's it), and then try to get online, it will direct you to a Comcast self-activation screen (no other site is available). After entering my account number and phone number and hitting the next button, I got a blank screen, and nothing happens. So I called Comcast and they said that usually happens if you are doing an upgrade; it mostly works only for a new service connection. However, it is a simple matter to give the tech your MAC address and the serial number. After about 5 minutes, while he stayed on the line, it came alive, no problem. BUT, here's the thing: the serial number they need is the CUSTOMER serial number. This is only found on the bottom of the Motorola box the modem came in. This is different from the S/N serial number that is on the label that is on the instruction sheet and on the bottom of the modem itself. The customer S/N has letters in it; the regular S/N has only numbers in it and is too long. My first Comcast tech didn't know that and it took a day to sort it out. Other than that, it works well with my iMac and Apple Airport Extreme Base wireless router. Enjoy
