How much blocking did you do? Obviously a 5-mile trip may not be enough to warm the engine even with 100% blocking, but with such a short trip...
I'm guessing this is due to the "pre-pressurization" which the Prius does when you first get in the car - must be too much.
The assumption that gas will stay below $4/gallon for the next 20-30 years is OBSCENELY optimistic...
I guess I should have said the 15x7's have 45mm offset, while the 15x6.5's have 35-38mm offsets. The smaller ones are noticably cheaper (although...
That is a more useful summary - thanks. This is probably why my dealer said to fill up as soon as the light starts flashing to avoid draining the...
Good point - the opposite may be true for longer trips with fewer stops (warmer engine sooner by using pwr mode).
I'm looking at snow tires/wheels from Tirerack and they are suggesting rims with offsets as low as 35mm and widths as high as 7" in the 5x100mm...
Unless I'm doing the math wrong, that would be nearly 90mph? I haven't had it quite that fast yet...:eek:
ermmm... Could be true - I've had mine for barely 2 weeks and one of the tires was flat today (punctured by a screw)....
Thanks, man - I've been spending an inordinate amount of time soaking up the info here on Priuschat, which is a big help. :thumb: I'm hoping...
Yeah, the word "theory" is supposed to stand for something with a lot of supporting evidence without necessarily having a mathematical "proof"....

Oh, and if you need proof, go up to 10 people on the street and ask them if they'd rather have a dollar today, or two dollars a month from now.
Ok, so far we've learned that Canadians are TOUCHY... (we already knew that Americans are dicks.) We have two paths to the future: 1) we keep...
Here's the executive summary: If you used to count on the traction battery in the Gen2 to limp a few hundred yards to a "safe" stopping...
Grill blocking, 85% bottom and 45% upper. Then I installed the donut...:( Apparently when I was at Home Depot picking up the $1.23 pipe foam, I...
I just bought a single piece of 1" pipe foam which, when slit in half lengthwise, provides enough for 100% bottom and 50% top blocking. $1.23 +...
I'd be very interested in seeing the results for short (10mi) trips in cold weather - PHEV might be a good way to address the MPG decrease from...
I think it's entirely arbitrary - as long as the HSI is not in the "power" zone and you have not selected PWR mode, the Eco light is on (from what...
Here's the flip side: You can use all those "doubts" when negotiating price with the dealer. They will quickly explain away anything you...
