Separate names with a comma.
I would say 80k miles is generally worse than one year older. Heck, they could be only a few months apart in age, depending on date of...
Doesn't hurt to double check, they may have just swapped it to put the old one on the charger.
The dead battery is the 12v battery, the black one found in any car (happens to be under the trunk in the Prius). In a Prius, it doesn't start...
Did you check all the fuses, under the dash and under the hood? My 12v wire decided I didn't crimp it hard enough and fell out. Blew a fuse...
I've always found Mobil1 to be $25-30 for a 5 quart jug at Walmart. Just FYI for any DIYers.
Check tire pressure? Has the weather been especially hot the last few tanks?
This. If you wouldn't consider a more conventional car with similar miles, don't think that the Prius will magically hold up better. If you'll...
If the seller was sitting in the car with it on waiting for you, the hybrid battery would drain to that point before the engine will kick on to...
The short trips are almost certainly the cause. I would consider 40mpg to be alright considering the driving conditions.
The car is much more than the engine. On an older body-on-frame car, side damage might be less of an issue, but unibody is a different story.
There are plenty of people who average over 50MPG. They're either trying or just happen to have driving conditions that are good for economy....
Shouldn't be an issue to leave them off, though it may cost you a fraction of an MPG. I would just ask for them to make sure nothing else was...
The car still uses power to run the computers and inverter pump. My recommended treatment is to turn the car off when parked. ;) Just another...
Use the lowest octane available in your area. Anything else is just wasted money.
In my opinion, the best tires are the ones you have, unless they're nearly worn out. Your mileage is about what should be expected. Replacing...
Time and lack of use are generally the big battery killers. Sounds like yours gets plenty of use and it'll only be about 6 years old by that...
I average over 50MPG, they can say whatever they want, they'll get no cares from me.
I don't know if the battery would last that far at that speed, but the ICE doesn't need to come on at any speed for the Volt. The Volt is more of...
I like Fuelly because I can change my mobile device to any other with a browser (or even use someone else's) and still have access to all my...
Check out a Gen1 Insight or Civic Hybrid forum, grid chargers work. You can say they don't, but that doesn't change the fact that they do.
