Separate names with a comma.
Yes. It's not more efficient though.
Sdtundra, I'm sure you've heard about this, but maybe others around here haven't. Wonder if the MD troopers are related to those in OK?
I can't point you to a shop in Long Island, only offer some general comments. Since you've apparently done your homework, you probably also have...
For the average driver interested in average (for the Prius) fuel economy, there's not too much point in it, other than perhaps to show off to...
Yeah, why would you want it to?
I'll say again that it doesn't take specialized knowledge to do most routine maintenance on the Prius. Oil changes are as easy as any I've done...
In general, though it seems counterintuitive, it is less efficient to use battery power for propulsion due to energy conversion losses that Shawn...
That seems plausible. It wouldn't have been my first thought with ambient temp at 80F. But if you use EV a lot the battery can heat up....
Congrats on the install, Kevin. Another "EV deny" criterion is speed >33 MPH. What was your speed during those episodes?
It seems counterintuitive, but the hybrid system's value is not in running for an extended period on battery power. (Do a good search for an...
Re: mud guards killing MPG? Arvin, what speeds do you typically drive? If your drop in fuel economy is in urban (or similar) driving, it is not...
This hypermiler agrees with the others: Run the AC. In the Gen II at highway speeds, the AC's effect on fuel economy is small, about 1 MPG at 65...
Driving downhill is illegal in many states, but I know of no state that outlaws it on level terrain or uphill. If you know of any, please provide...
Not the Prius EBH. Most of us who have it use it year round to improve fuel economy. I can expect a block temperature of 140F starting out on a...
Just curious ... With a new car still under warranty, why would you pay for repairs at an indie shop? Or are you looking for someone to do your...
Congratulations, Mary! Assuming you live in the Richmond area, welcome from a neighbor. I bought my '05 from McGeorge. They've treated me well...
Nice writeup, Patrick! Did you consider a salvage part and if so, did you price it? Reports of similar problems seem infrequent enough that I'd...
Ecowan, please forgive us if we're a little gun shy. This is a popular site and we're popular targets of those who would stir up trouble....
Agreed. And you "smashed into a tree." Assuming that's not hyperbole on your part, that too tells me it wasn't minor. My guess is that with the...
Hmm, I don't think I'd want a blanket around my battery, especially during a southern California summer. Battery temperatures can certainly get...
