Remember, some of what you are paying is for the hourly rate needed to pay the service techs. :-)
I used to own 2 Hondas, both 80's era ones at that, the second one the 88 Accord did have fuel injection and I never had any real issues with it until near the end when on rare occasions it'd act like it was not getting any gas or some such and would spin really fast when starting but would eventually rectify itself and start up and run fine.
The biggest thing that I know of is carbon build up of the valves but as long as one drove on the freeway from time to time, that was not so much the problem and while it's probably true that one needs to have the throttle body cleaned every now and then, the additives in the gas should help with this, even the 87 octane stuff.
