Separate names with a comma.
Fuzzy, I think you missed my point. It's energy transfer efficiency that makes it IMPOSSIBLE to recover all the energy expended going up the hill...
Mark, today I went into town, with about 400 miles on the tank, looking at about 59.3 displayed for this tank on the HSI. I picked up a friend...
I think it feels kind of like a golf cart. ;) Seriously, though, it's not bad, but I keep the tires at 40/38 cold. This makes for a good bit of...
It's 90 per cent terrain. If you live in a flat place, getting better than 60 in the summer should be easy. I have gotten 60 once here in the...
Honestly, I've admired the car's technology for years, but waited for the big foo-fah over "runaway Priuses" this past winter to finally buy,...
Happening with this forum - any page. Not the chat forum. Windows media opens with warning about "trusted content." Bet it's an ad!!
But, if you "fix" it, you no longer have "stealth regen braking." ;) Seriously, I think it's a non-problem - a feature.
I kind of like the feature, as it lets me apply just a trace of regen braking without lighting up my back panel. It's easier to let off the CC...
Congrats! These cars are fully capable of 60 MPG indicated - I've done it on my best tank, and may break it this tank, as I'm at 60 halfway...
Never use it. Just push the "GO" pedal when I need to go. It's just pedal mapping - I can get the same effect anytime I want it. Car does...
Ehh, let 'em burn. It's your car, and, while I try not to cause problems with hyper-miling, even using POWER to pulse up a hill, I absolutely do...
Very true. I often pick out routes across the center of town, stoplight-to-stoplight, at 25-45 MPH just to avoid that "quicker route" arcing...
Thanks for the comments. I have a Kenwood Excelon in my other car, and it's been pretty good, but not sure about that boot-up time on the new...
Called my local hi-end dealer, who have done most of my cars. They don't have a dash kit for the new Prius yet, but are checking. They are...
Yokos, OEM Bought 4/10, built 11/09. VA
Third tank down - averaging around 56 displayed, 54 calculated. Best tank was 60 displayed, but I "granny-drove" some that tank. Spring-summer...
Over-inflated tires are a bad idea... For many reasons, including handling. I can easily get 55-60 MPG with 40/38 F/R.
Well, I'm not going to discount other's experience - if I had a situation where I lost braking ability I would be most upset, even if an accident...
I have yet to see anyone say that they PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL HARDER AND THE PERCEPTION OF "NO BRAKES" PERSISTED. If that happened to me, I would...
Can't resist. You know the difference between a Bimmer and a porcupine? With a porcupine, the pricks are on the outside!
