The same thing happens to me. The first time I noticed it I was sitting in my car with the window down talking to a neighbor and I heard the ICE start (it probably happened before and I never noticed it because I usually drive with the windows up and can't hear it but this time I had the window down and was stopped so there was no road noise to cover up the sound of the ICE running). I realized that it was probably normal and surmised that that was done intentionally by Honda to keep the ICE lubricated. All ICE cars need to be started occasionally to keep the ICE in good condition. Do not be worried the amount of gas used is insignificant I recently topped off the gas tank with slightly less than 2,000 on the odometer. I had a hard time squeezing 0.04 gallons in the tank.When I owned a Volt I talked with Volt owners that went for a year without using any gas. Can you imagine what would happen to the ICE if the ICE did not run for a year? I suggest that you top off the gas tank and drive for about 1,000 and then try too add gas to the tank. I am guessing that you will only be able to add about 0.02 gallons of gas which is a small price to pay to insure the ICE remains lubricated and in good condition.
I am interested to see how much gas you use. If you use much more than 0.02 gallons of gas take it to the dealer. Please get in touch with us in 1,000 and lets us know how much gas you used.
