Separate names with a comma.
I think there is a point in the programming of the car at which economy is not paramount, a point where the engine RPM and or other things will be...
Now what do you base that on?
There aren't many big hills in Austin is there? I would think it would take a mountain to overheat brakes?
The recorded sound and picture is great. I didn't see any shaking and the noise sounded to me like a collapsed lifter, which is fairly common....
Wow, I would bet that all of the engine oil seals have a lower or similar melting point as the oil filter cover. So I guess your engine is...
Make it a tail dragger too:) As a former owner of a VW Camper, I can tell you the Prius cuts through the wind compared to it, so I guess it's...
That's part, but not all of it, the engine has to run more often and longer just to keep itself warm as well as keeping you warm. Even if you...
Diesels are hit by winter fuel too. Winter diesel fuel is essentaily kerosene which has a lower heat output, but wax does not come out of...
So, It would seem that the Prius engine does run at low RPM, but high throttle opening, sort of "lugging" the engine for greater efficiency....
I found this on this site,don't know how to properly link it, so I cut and pasted it. Quote: Originally Posted by pulse Does the 2ZR-FXE...

No and that's why I hoped Ken or someone similar would chime in. I too have the Scan Gauge and do not know what the throttle position is. Is it...
I've noticed an interesting thing about this Forum. For some reason we just don't want to give Toyota or any manufacturer credit. We seem...
rumpledoll, The K&N will result in slightly higher fuel mileage, period. It has nothing to do with air to fuel ratio, as you state...
The K&N will result in slightly better fuel mileage, due to lower pumping losses of a lower restriction filter. How much? Probably not enough to...
As you can see by Bob's graph, there is no sweet spot. The faster you go, the more fuel you burn, simple physics
It takes all of about ten sec to reset the oil change reminder, what's the big deal?
Waxing a small airplane will result in a small increase in cruise speed, so waxing a car should result in a small mileage increase
Find the graph that plots MPG and MPH. It will give you an idea. Basically it's a straight downhill slide, the faster you go the less your mileage
That and better, depending on driving conditions of course. It may be of note that the car is not more efficient, no less energy is used, just the...
