And we all know how expensive AC is to run at home in the summer from the wall outlet.
AC systems use a lot of electricity, which isn't free. All electricity must come from regenerative braking (trying to recapture energy created by...
80-some MPG is pretty good. Obviously a lot depends on electrical costs that vary by location.
That is definitely an advantage to having a PHEV. I've considered doing a PHEV conversion on my de-hybridized Insight, but at only 2.5 cents per...
He was responding to post #11. :) There is still a drain on the HV battery to keep the 12V charged and power accessories. Ever leave the AC on...
MPG readings are wildly inaccurate on PHEVs because they don't factor in the cost of electricity. Your actual MPGe is probably somewhere between...
IIRC the "silent start" on the Honda hybrids used about 5x the power that the conventional starter did. The Camry/Prius never actually shut off...
Easier solution - confiscate the keys and make him get his own car and insurance. Problem solved. Or if not, then it's not your problem anymore.
Maybe go somewhere else if you don't like the price. Or do it yourself. Does sound unnecessarily expensive. Most warranties are also scams just to...
Was your Civic hybrid a manual car? If so, my Insight worked the same way before I deleted the hybrid system. Now I just key off to coast. CVTs...
1st Gen Honda Insight yellow spare rims weigh ~8lbs vs stock wheels 10.5lbs and can be run on the stock 165/65R14 tires. It's the tire, not the...
Over $100 each. Ebay has a set of 4 prius rums for ~$275. Hoping to find something under $200 without going steel if possible. Camry rims are...
Nice MPG from a Prius! Your next goal: ;) [IMG] To be fair though, my best trip in the '08 Prius is 68.1 MPG with cruise control at 45 MPH....
Looking for a set of 15" rims for a '08 Toyota Prius to use as winter tires. Quality isn't important as long as the rims aren't damaged and hold...
Is the 15-20 MPG reported on the display, or actually calculated at the pump? Maybe try disconnecting and reconnecting the 12V battery to reset...
2014 hands down. 2010 and 2011 Prii are reported to burn oil excessively. I know someone will likely come on here talking about how their 2010 or...
If you have them already, why not just jack up the Prius and try one on for size?
I see Prii all the time around here. Mostly only take notice of the G1 Prius when I follow them in my G1 Insight getting better fuel economy lol....
I posted this in another thread. Just highlighted the important things to note for you:
