weird occurance
Driving home from somewhere, down a slight hill my gas gauge all the sudden dropped from 3/4 of a tank to E and the fuel light came on. I pulled over turned it off and then turned it back on and no change. So I went to the nearest gas station and filled it up but only managed like 3 gallons. Looked underneath the car to make sure there wasn't anything wrong with the tank from what i could see. After filling up the gauge went back to normal and I haven't seen it happen again. What could have caused that, and should I possibly be worried about a future problem?

If it happens again, take it to Honda. If you take it now they probably won't be able to replicate it and say everything is ok. could be a glitch in your ECU.
