It's only lighter in terms of energy density. The overall weight of the PiP battery is about 100 lbs heavier.
If PiP truly could get better mpg, I'm wondering if the lithium battery is more efficient than the NiMH
I don't drive a steady pace, I pulse and glide. I either glide in neutral or use some EV energy. My local road is a mixture of 25 and 35 mph...
The distance is 29 and the time is 1 hour, so the avg speed is 29 mph. I can get 76 mpg on local roads
It looks like your avg speed was 29 mph. If I drove that slow, I could get 62 mpg on my standard Prius with no problem. Energy and matter could...
I didn't know about that. Thanks for telling. This doesn't apply to Lithium batteries, right?
Welcome any time. Actually on a flat freeway, cruise control is recommended. It doesn't work well when you're driving on hilly roads.
I pulse and glide on freeways as well but not as often as when I'm driving on local roads. On freeways, I glide when I see the road is in a...
I'm assuming that you'll be spending a lot of time on the freeways. If you take it easy, I don't see why you wouldn't get 50 mpg with A/C on. If...
If you look hard enough, I'm sure you'll find something that will give you better mpg. However, the cost of the new set of tires will exceed what...
I don't like built-in GPS. I get free map updates for my Garmin
GM didn't have a hybrid but they did produce an EV called EV1, it was introduced at about the same time that the Prius was introduced in Japan....

I had my windshield cracked before and the truck was on the next lane. I could be wrong about this but I think that if the truck has splash...
What can we do about it other than keeping the engine warm? I've been looking at engine heaters, not sure which one is good. Some are $40 and some...
Vulcan - I did a similar "Prius vs PiP" calculation before and it's fairly straight forward since the PiP is already a Prius. It'd be much more...
I would offer them US$11K maximum. Assuming that the car is in good shape.
bring a bucket instead of a glass ;)
That's why I said "free ice"
If there any place at work you could get free ice? Put some in your car and that should reduce some gas consumption. Once time I came home from...
