Separate names with a comma.
What you're doing is filling up the evap system canister. Filling it with liquid gas poisons the charcoal in the canister so that it no longer...
When I forgot to look at the gas gauge I went 653 miles a couple of tanks ago. Suddenly noticed the gauge, dove into a gas station. The DTE read...
Rolling stop signs won't get you to 60mpg. I'm one of those guys at 60+ and I NEVER roll stop signs. I just glide up to them, stop, and then...
Sounds like "flopping and twitching" to me....:) I used both Mac's and PC's at work, depending on which the control software was written for....
Temporarily setting aside the issue of endangering others, I thought the whole point of these vehicles was to use energy more efficiently???...
Sorry to be a pain, but I recall reading somewhere here that the Gen-III Prius does not have a thermos in the coolant system??? The Gen-II does....
Unfortunately it's not that simple. You could generate a family of curves for different speeds, but to generate each curve you'd have to go at...
Yup, that was the Gen II Prius. Hello, it's the Gen III now, different engine, different body, lots of differences including better mpg I think -...
Honda built about 15,000 of them and sold them all over the world. BTW, far more than the number of Volts made to date (and sold only in a few...
I've watched the fuel economy during long highway trips, say 100miles (160km) or longer, and it often improves all the way to the end. Plus I...
I came to a screeching halt after: "When we did the first Fuel-Sipper Smackdown four years ago, there were no diesel-powered cars on sale, the...
I don't think one reduces power when DWL uphill, it's more like a constant load (or constant mpg) via keeping the gas pedal locked. From the...
Problem with this is that the ScanGauge offset %age varies from tank to tank. I suspect it's because the SG gets a signal showing 0.02GPH when...
OK, what you're doing wrong is not tracking your mpg. You can do it two ways: (1) Zero trip A each time you fill the tank. The trip A display...
Beyond "pretty good", it's excellent. That's what I hoped for when I bought my Prius. It probably has a lot to do with how you drive. I too...
Congratulations, Mark! I am extremely pleased with my mpg too: I had been hoping for 50mpg from the car and am getting low 60's (actual). Just...
+1 Another pervasive myth is that regen is the main reason hybrids get better gas mileage than conventional cars.
Yes I know Hobbit and rode with him several years ago. You're overly preoccupied with the idea that there is an ideal acceleration rate: "P&G is...
It's actually more useful to look at LOD readings on the ScanGauge and determine what works experimentally rather than theoretically. Most people...
Not exactly. The point of pulse and glide is to maximize MPG during the combination of the pulse and the glide phase. Because the ICE runs...
