This has nothing to do with fuel. Either the ignition switch, starter, or the battery.

Call your local honda dealership and find out if the ignition switch recall was ever done on your car.

See if jump starting the battery will get the car to start.

Just me but some of the v6 accords in this gen had/have a heat soak issue....vapor lock.

And again just me but the "winter blend" of gas seems to make the issue worse.

Don't know where osama is located, but if that 10-15 minutes is idling the engine then vapor lock makes even more sense.

Winter-blend fuel makes it worse. It has a higher vapor-pressure to make it easier to vaporize when the engine is cold. That also makes it easier to vaporize in the fuel lines in a hot engine-compartment.
