On that note, a stupid question: who does the very first fill, Honda or dealer?
Correct. The vehicles are shipped from the factory with a minimum amount of fuel. The price of every new Honda includes a full tank of fuel (this is listed on the Monroney label). It is the dealer's responsibility to deliver the vehicle with a full tank of fuel to the buyer. The brand and grade of fuel you receive will vary from dealer to dealer. Usually, the brand will be whatever is closest to the dealer. The grade will most likely be regular - even in models where premium is recommended - unless you're lucky enough to have a porter that cares or knows the difference. The only way to make sure is to watch them fill it up.I believe the factory adds a few gallons for the initial test drive and transport. And I think the dealer tops it off before the sale (or they should).
