There isn't any current being generated because the wires are effectively disconnected from the "Resistive load" (battery). No continuity = no...
I think your mis-reading the scangauge. It's NEGATIVE when it goes INTO the HV battery. During N, I've only seen positive numbers between 0 and...
You can also remove the rear seats to free up some space...
The system is smart enough to only turn on the coolant transfer pump when the coolant in the thermos is hotter then the engine coolant temp. The...
I've noted that doing "N" at speeds below 40mph, saves battery power... If you think its bad for the prius, doing this while driving, then you...

None have been discovered so far.
If you really want to waste energy, you'll brake while in N-mode :P

Chances are that the ICE was already lit. Without a scangauge, its impossible to tell sometimes.
Are those mini-fog lights reflecting back the flash in the front next to the wheel, below the main headlights?
You DO know that the manual says 5k miles right? I'm sure with synthetic it can be bumped up to 10k miles (or more), assuming you have a...
That was a waste of 11 seconds of my time.
Wow, that looks nice... Too bad your not going to use the hood - I imagine that took quite a bit of paint to cover.
*shock* you mean that it doesn't get 71mpg? :P ^ hypermiler talking :P
The main factor is: Length of commute and driving technique. Everything else helps a little bit, but you'll get the biggest benefit when the...
