From experience with Honda that is the $100 question. Where is the coolant going? Obviously it is going some where slowly. It is either leaking but not all the time and possibly only when the engine is very warm or the best answer is that the engine consuming it. This is a tough one to diagnose so watch for times of consumption, watch for white exhaust, and watch the ground under the vehicle especially after a long drive.
