I think 40-42 mpg is pretty good darn good. The reason I shift when I is because the turbocharger starts to spool up around 2000 rpm and it leads to a slightly higher fuel consumption as the electronic wastegate isn't bleeding off all the pressure.Great write up, and mirrors most of my impressions after having put about 1000 miles on my sedan. I'm glad to have Honda Sensing, although I turn off RDM a lot of the time, because I find it too sensitive on the winding 2-lane roads I take to and from school. I'm VERY happy to have adaptive cruise for long highway trips. As for mileage, for my first two tanks, mostly local driving with a lot of stoplights, I averaged a shade over 30mpg (manually calculated). On a recent run up and down I-95, trip computer was showing an average MPG of 40-42. It was interesting to see your shift points, they are lower than I would normally do. I plan try them out for a tank and see how it goes. I'd also add that the infotainment, if anything has been a pleasant surprise, perhaps because my expectations were so low. Other than one random cutout in Android Auto, it's worked very well.
And Android Auto.. what a mother. It's a great idea, but it's still not 100% and the way it fails is soo annoying. Like needing google maps - even though the car has garmin onboard - so I have to run google maps on my phone for AA to work. Boooo. haha. Or having to disconnect and reconnect my phone after shutting off the engine and starting it again later when I get back to the car. One thing I will say is, the music playback over USB rather than bluetooth is far better sound, so bravo for that.
