Separate names with a comma.
[/LIST] That's completely truthful in context - if you're on a race track alternating between stomping the brake and gas pedals all the way to the...
Thanks! :thumb: I was wondering exactly what it would take to keep the engine warm enough at highway speeds, and it seems like the blocking has...
Well, not to burst your balloon but I think the Gen III design gets the credit - it seems to be just as efficient regardless of which mode you...
Well, cold temps cause a pretty substantial hit also - nobody really knows exactly why, maybe the inverter temp is too low for efficiency or...
I'm not sure how true that is with the Gen III - and I wonder if the inverters actually might be happier with a little heat (relatively speaking)....
So for example, a trip of about 300+ miles at 70mph - how much block/unblock upper/lower? I'm assuming temps in the high 20's F.
If you look at the engine efficiency graph, P&G is less effective/necessary in the Gen III because the sweet spot is bigger and starts almost as...
It is an attempt at idiot-proofing - which, as we all know, leads to the discovery if new and advanced forms of idiots...
Yeah, they should make it sticky like ECO - it's just software...
Thanks - was wondering about that. And for longer highway trips in 20-30F, do you think 100% blocking (lower AND upper) is still safe? (I have a...
In what temps do you have the grill 100% blocked, and when do you find it necessary to start unblocking?
I'm not complaining about 40mpg, but it is a big swing from the 55-60mpg which seems to be typical in summer months. Still wondering what the...
Yeah, I see a difference there too. But highway mpg seems unchanged. I added a little more blocking up top (80%?), and may have seen a small...
I am going to posit that "heretical mode" is why PWR mode is nearly as efficient as (or possibly moreso) than ECO on the Gen III. (NOW who's the...
That's a great article (and I had been thinking of thumbscrews and burning at the stake). "Heretical" mode must happen continuously at highway...
The headlights are negligible - 55 watts. Bear in mind that the engine is putting out 10,000-20,000 watts of energy to keep the car moving, so...
Most people won't be affected, but there is a niche of people who are in that bump on the curve. The withholding tables were adjusted earlier...
Has anyone suggested a "sticky" setting for PWR mode (just like ECO)?
[/FONT][/COLOR] Most likely the taxes are skewed in IN. And sometimes refining capacity doesn't keep up with gasoline demand, but usually...
I've got approx. 85% lower, 45% upper blocking, and I'm not seeing much difference except in the first few miles, and some improvement with the...
