Separate names with a comma.
It would still be a very interesting test. And BTW you are very cool to have both a Prius and a Smart.
How about this idea: Go in a big parking lot, ask a friend to be at the wheel. Get out and push the car as hard as you can. You can probably...
It's a simple matter of kinetic energy. If both vehicles start at the same velocity, the heavier vehicle will glide further. Kinetic Energy (KE) =...
How about white wall tires ?
I'm interested in a self-powered subwoofer that I could put in the "trunk" area, but disconnect when I need full cargo space. Is that possible?...
In the same perspective you adopted, you driving a 2008 Prius makes no economical sense at all, you should be driving a used Toyota Echo instead....
I thought the Prius ICE was actually using an "Atkinson-Miller" cycle, because it's a hybrid version mix of both. It doesn't have the complex...
I love the Prius, but I don't feel spoiled. Its equipment is comparable to a well equipped Civic or Corolla/Matrix, not a luxury car at all....
Anyone have a link to the actual tables and results? I'm surprised the Prius would rank better than the Corolla, after all the Prius is more...
Benchmarking on a 100k USD car may not be the best reference. HyMotion's pack may be a better reference as to what can be done... it's what? 30...
The ICE will start in order to warm up, unless you have the EV mod.
I do the same.
Canada also uses L/100km One advantage, like you said, is that L/100km multiplied by distance (in hundreds of km) gives you liters. 5 L/100km...
Oversimplified and/or misleading. Lots of my friends think that the Prius above 25-35 mph has no fuel economy benefit compared to other cars,...
Mine seems to reset only the distance when I fill up, not the fuel consumption average. Anyway, after a fill-up I hit the reset button, as I'm...
Agreed. I wouldn't go down 2-3 sizes. In the Prius case, I'd go for the touring tire size for the 3 warm seasons, and the 15" OEM size for the...
Funny... I bet they didn't spend long discussion the GPS DVD option. As was said above... just do a cost plus margin series of options and let...
Funny you call it the "snow belt". On a real cold day at -40 deg. C (-40F) it feels more like snow hell :-) I'm still looking for something...
Rokeby, thanks for the link to the other thread, very interesting. So, what we need is another button to switch between time/distance x-axis,...
By the way, if you need snow tires, you need four, not two. driving with different tires isn't recommended. Many of the links I listed above about...
