Separate names with a comma.
I don't agree with that. In my experience, repair cost is a function of vehicle quality and complexity, and non-hybrids are getting very complex...
Another good time to use N (but probably not relevant to a Prius): Sometimes when trying to stop on ice, the un-driven wheels will lock up while...
I suspect it's because the shifter springs back through N after you select R or D, and thus the requirement to hold it in N to actually select N....
Just recently I noticed on my scan gauge that the a/c was drawing about 10 amps trying to cool the car down. That would be enough to drain the...
Sounds like that experience understandably scarred you for life :-) Do you remember if when you ran out with the needle above E, if it took the...
I try to fill up before the low fuel warning comes on, and treat the last few gallons as an emergency reserve. I'm both paranoid about running...
If you push the ECO button next to the gear shift, that should bring you straight to the HSI screen. .
Close, the HSI is showing where the system is most efficient, not just the efficiency of the ICE. The engine RPM where you cross into the power...
And here I was all eager to replace my floor mats every 5K miles :) .
If the hill is sufficiently long and steep, you'll have to go into the power portion. The HSI roughly corresponds to how much torque is being...
One of the problems with the internet is that people are much more likely to post their problems so it's very difficult to get an idea as to...
All I remember about APL was I had to go to the computer center where they had the terminals with all the special greek characters you needed to...
With the prius, gas costs about the same per mile as I was paying when I graduated college and got half the mileage. Of course, my commute is...
If you floor a prius at a dead stop, the engine will only rev to about 3000 rpm, and won't hit 4000 until 40 mph. If you only give 3/4, the...
Being a little OCD, after putting in the new filter I immediately tried loosening it to get a feel for how tight it actually was and was surprised...
Hi All, Had to announce to everyone that I just finished my first non-Toyota-care oil change and 30k maintenance on my Prius. :-) The cabin and...
Long steep hills will hurt mpg, but smaller hills might actually help. They allow you to pulse and glide and drive a steady speed at the same...
Assuming you're changing your oil every 10K miles, you're only adding 2 quarts between each change. Using a thicker oil probably won't stop the...
Good points, especially about things like the tires. My mom has a '99 Subaru that has ~30K miles on it. Before that she had an '81 Buick that...
Is it accurate to say that batteries have a finite shelf life? Batteries seem to die sooner or later regardless of how much they're used. Just...
