Can someone explain how Honda engines deliver outstanding fuel economy and have "issues" with overrich conditions causing fuel dilution of the oil?

I think this "overrich" condition that is constantly being discussed is B-S.

What? So you are saying that Terry is full of B-S. Get a grip.

Mike, rest ASSURED that your scope of viewing my customers raw data is limited. I have many success stories of correcting the pernicious fuel dilute issues that are systemic with the new engines ( NOx flushing,read past comments on BITOG). FYI a customer with a highly modded 07 Sube STi 2.5 was running 1.64% ( by IR) fuel dilute with VPracing 5w30 ester oil. After changing air filtration and oil to RLI BIOSYN 5w40 his fuel dilute retested at 0.799% and the motor oil was good for continued service. Flash on VP was 280 F, 365F with BIOSYN.
Our testing works, what happens a lot is that the customer does nothing or little of what I suggest and many times blames the oil for the issue. Resamples later and wonders why we still show problems.
Rest assured aromatic ( fuel ) damage is serious and systemic not just in Hondas.
