Separate names with a comma.
It depends where you live. Some places are rural enough that you don't have high crime density, but there are so few people a thief might...
Funny how that seems to change when gas goes over $4/gallon. (Of course, then it's Washington's fault...)
That's an excellent point: diesel is more expensive because it has more energy. (this is old news to anyone who has done any reading on fuel...
It's also dirtier...
And we're off-topic yet again... Regarding the question of lower Prius mileage in the cold, I think we've mostly answered the question as far as...
Did the tech check the fluids and pressures (and sensors) in the braking system, or did he just go for a ride?
That's 9%. So you'd prefer to ignore any higher mileage you might get in the summer with the Prius so that you can get "better than EPA" mileage...
If you're saying that your driving pattern will change (fewer miles) in warmer months, then you are correct - it won't average out. If on the...
So the TDI and Prius are nearly the same actual (calc) MPG in winter, with the Prius being substantially higher in warmer months - correct?
Seems like a great concept - the advantages of regen braking without the weight of a battery and secondary motor. They might even be able to make...
Wow, what a relief - global warming must be leveling off. :rofl:
This is kind of like snow tires vs all-season - all-seasons are better most of the year, but snow tires are way way better in the white stuff....
I mean "wasteful" in the sense that they could be more efficient for their intended purpose, but aren't. (styling considerations and whatnot take...
The year-round average for TDI's does not seem to keep up with the year-round average for a Prius (assuming you live below the Arctic Circle).
Yeah, the air density info is pretty surprising - I didn't realize it changed that much (12% increase from 70F down to 15F)... Does that factor...
I think there's plenty of evidence to show that diesels don't take as much of a mileage hit in cold temps as the Prius, but also plenty of...
Does that apply to after-market installs also? Or only factory-built plug-ins?
That is precisely the point.
:rofl: That conjures up an image I won't soon forget...
