Separate names with a comma.
Even if you start out in EV, you still pay a warmup penalty. If you do it right, you might pay the warmup penalty when the engine would've been...
Yes, I have a ScanGauge, which can show both total power draw of the car, and even power draw of just the A/C compressor. So I ran out to my car...
OK, that diagram maybe gives me an inkling of what you're thinking. First, you do know that during the "Glide" part of Pulse and Glide, the...
Turn the car off, wait four weeks, and turn the car on again. If it doesn't turn on, you should have left the car on for longer. ;)
I think it's normally a problem only if the key is outside the car. It may be a problem if the key is in a location where it might be picked up as...
This is the key, with one caveat; that "energy needed" does NOT factor in the efficiency of the engine. It absolutely takes more energy to the...
KyleT isn't *entirely* wrong... ...just mostly. He is correct that it takes more useful energy to do P&G than it does to just accelerate to...
Oh well. Hopefully, Toyota's systems are all well-designed to put up those errors and go into limp mode well before any long-term damage is done....
It can even change while you're driving, if you're going up or down a hill for a while. The actual measurement fluctuates a huge amount, as seen...
The reason why I find leaving the car on to be most beneficial is that, even if the engine doesn't cool off, the car will still often run the...
If you're trying to cool the cabin, any efficiency hit would be pretty insignificant. The fan does take maybe a couple hundred watts at the...
As others have said, only the 12V battery is really at risk. I've left mine for a little over 3 weeks without driving it; my parents went about 8...
If your quarter mile loop takes you up the same route that you'd take if you just head straight up the hill, don't bother. If it saves you a...
Yes, this is the most common case. It could also do this to keep the engine warm, especially if it's during winter in a cold climate, and the heat...
No, not all Priuses have this sticker; mine does not, for example. It just has the stock 825 lb sticker. I think I remember reading on here a...
I'm pretty sure I fit my wife's bike inside (seats down) without removing any wheels when we first purchased it; stacking a second bike on top is...
Perhaps if you put it in park, assuming that the car is set to unlock the doors when you shift to park? I do it all the time (most recently, today).
It's exactly the same as opening your fridge to cool down the house. You start by violating the laws of thermodynamics. Once you have that part...
That's a "may not detect", not a "will not detect". At the very least, PCS will detect a stopped car. Whether or not DRCC will or not (and whether...
