Separate names with a comma.
I think the Toyota engineers have thought about this too. I could not get any confirmation in the Prius manual about this, but I suspect...
I believe that what we're seeing here is the emissions vs economy trade-off that was made. With a cold engine and catalytic converter, the Prius...
If you drive a lot of short trips with the A/C on, then yes, you'll probably be stuck to 40-something. The A/C has to work hard to cool down the...
Since I can only choose one thing..... I would like to get rid of the center console. Hate it. It doesn't really serve any purpose and reduces...
Thanks for all the info Bob, appreciate it. And of course, in very cold climates, an EBH is worth the extra comfort and safety. If you can...
Nope. Outside temp was 20 C, so no A/C. It was day, so no head lights too. It seemed to be triggered by low SOC, and then kept the ICE running for...
This never happened to me in my Gen II during the summer. When the battery was depleted (for example in a really bad traffic jam due to some...
Yesterday and today I have observed something new on my Gen III. In both situations I had started the car with a cold engine and only 3 bars on...
Bob, Thanks for the figures. I have calculated the extra gas use for warm up in winter (Dutch winter that is, temp ~0 C) to be 0.05 - 0.1 l,...
Some pumps are very sensitive and switch off way before the tank is full. It happens quite regularly that it clicks off after only 5 or 10 litres....
Pay attention to the 'up to 8%'. That is compared to the worst performing tires out there. Assuming the Avid's already have pretty low rolling...
Do you have an estimate of the amount of fuel saved? How much power does the EBH draw? EDIT: and if it saves so much fuel, why doesn't the Prius...
And in case someone missed this: diesel is not gasoline. It is a denser fuel, that contains ~12% more energy per litre. Because this difference is...
After almost a month, finally emptied my 2nd tank. There is a downside to a fuel efficient car ;) The problem in Europe is that consumption is...
Thanks for the quote! So true.
Thanks fred, maybe I'll try it out one day (like I said, I am lazy). I didn't mean to mash all driving modes. I have read for example that the...
In ECO mode you just have to press the gas pedal a bit more. Hardly qualifies as 'dangerous'. You apparently still have a lot to learn about your car.
Lumbar support is standard in Europe. Its terrific, but to be honest it is my first car with lumbar support so I can not really compare.
Yup. It is good to realize that when you floor it, the Prius gives you maximum thrust in all modes (ECO, normal, Power).
I have no problem whatsoever to keep up with traffic in ECO mode, never ever even come close to flooring it. I don't think traffic here is...
