Separate names with a comma.
OH! Right, if you press on the accelerator too much the gas engine kicks on even if you have a full charge. So the PIP MPGe number isn't a pure...
Hey guys, so the MPGe number is the efficiency when the engine is off and the car is being propelled completely by electric power from the...
A turbocharged lean burn engine (leaner than stoichiometric) with DI and Valvematic hopefully.
The new Mazda 6 has a supercapacitor for light regen via the alternator
Get a rear sway bar and some decent all season tires.
Just put in on my 1999 Civic next to the "LEV" C.A.R.B. certified text. Sweet :) pic.twitter.com/OFaT7IDvF2

Prius commercials have zero testosterone in them. Why not advertise the torque for city driving and the long range capabilities, fuel savings as...
Oh boy, I'm sure that's going to be reliable...
So the Prius doesn't ever or hardly ever go into a power saving mode in which the voltage at the lead acid battery drops below 13V? That is very...
Hey guys, Even with regular cars these days, the alternator doesn't always output ~14.2V but sometimes more like 12.5 volts when the amount of...
Since it's a mild hybrid (most likely) and the non-hybrid CVT version gets 25/33, I'll estimate the mild hybrid version will get 30/34MPG. Of...
I thought all 3rd gen Pri had Lithium ion batteries, except for the C and V. Whoops, guess I am wrong. I remember reading all these articles on...
Toyota Prius Hybrid - 2013 Models: Prius Two, Prius Three, Prius Four, Prius Five hmm.. Says the regular Prius uses NiMH batteries not Lithium....
Please make a video! Probably only people withe dash cams would end up capturing it though. Might want to get a used oil analysis done when it's...
Bob Brandt is really Jerry Lambert
Well that's what capacitors are for. They could provide the very short term 'turbo' power so the battery doesn't see the load. Like I said this...

I thought the current Insight, Civic Hybrid (2012) uses a lean burn engine? Maybe it doesn't. I believe the 6th Civics with lean burn (Civic HX...
