You drive to hard! 
Skinner ask them to run a compression/leak down test when you bring it in.

SOHCmyDOHC - What are the symptoms of a scored cylinder or low compression in the engine? If my CEL hasn't gone back on since I did the first reset is this something I should worry about?
If you do have issues the CEL WILL come back. Next time don't reset the CEl w/o pulling the code. Yes it's irritating to see but you're ask just asking for trouble if you reset it w/o pulling the code.
Hard to say if I would be worried... Personally yes since you don't know what the code was.
BTW Gas is Gas. Chevron gas is Valero gas is Shell gas. The only difference is the additives that get added at the fueling terminal.

I reset the ECU by pulling the 7.5 amp backup fuse. The CEL is off now and after 300 miles and 2 days later and a fresh tank of high test gas from Chevron the CEL still remains off (thankfully).
Would I still be able to pull the trouble codes from the ECU even though I reset it?

mads2k08SOHCmyDOHC would be a better person to answer these questions for you since he's more knowledgeable about mechanic in general.
However, on this coming up Wednesday when I take the car back into the Dealership for them to continue to diagnose the symptom(s), I will ask them if it's possible to pull the codes after a reset and will report back here.

Yes, they did the compression and leak down tests as I was told.
They called me yesterday while I was with a client and left me a message telling me that they need to keep the car overnight while they seek advice from Honda Technical Support with the multiple cylinders misfire issue.
I later told them to keep the car for as long as they need to until they get it fixed.
So we might not have the car ready for SAC2KDAYS event
