Yeah, I'm right there with you. My Prius costs less to insure than my 9 y/o SUV that books for $4k. ~$600 a year in Phoenix, one of the most...
We're big fans of "Hotel La Pensione". Its a more European style travelers hotel, along the lines of a Hostel but private rooms, no bunk beds....
Agreed. Its the one clear strategy to doing something about the problem now. There's nothing to invent, no real infrastructure to create, we...
There might be a few more avenues you can explore. First I would offer to put a meter on the car and reimburse the company for the electricity...
The site below has Cd and CdA for the Corolla and Yaris: http://www.tercelreference.com/Downloads/CdA_List.htm They put the '02-'08 Corolla at...
Likewise. The removal of the cap is potentially huge! Our local power company has two examples on their website, one for residential, one for...
I think thats a poor assumption. The only PHEV from Toyota we have any definite numbers on are the test beds, built from '08s with 2 stock...
If your primary concern is saving money, its probably not cheap enough yet to make sense. If your primary concerns are environmental or energy...
Can't really argue with that. A 2004 Civic DX 1.7L MT books for about $9k, and is rated 34mpg combined on the '08 EPA calculation. Pretty hard...
Silly me, I thought we were having a rational discussion about the merits of a small inexpensive, efficient car vs. the Prius. One would assume...

For someone who only needs a small car and only drives 5000 miles a year a smaller car may make more sense. For an average driver, I'd say it...
yep, pretty good!
I'd say the front looks VW, the side view is Prius, and the back is Insight I / Volt. :) Rob
Maybe not as skewed as you'd think. Last numbers I saw were that the average US commute speed was 32mph. ;) Highway Statistics 2006 - Number of...
It seems to me your example is contrary to your viewpoint. The Corolla weighs 11% more than the Yaris. Moving 11% more weight at a given speed...
catgic, The solar numbers are estimated using: PVWATTS - A Performance Calculator for Grid-Connected PV Systems 200W is the assumed DC rated...
You can change NOx, and maybe CO, but CO2 is simply the cost of doing business. You take carbon in whatever form, you burn (oxidize) it to get...
I would disagree. If you look back at my previous post, I think a PHEV10-15 NimH Prius still makes a lot more sense for the next few years. For...
The way people are currently getting around it is exploiting a mode built into the car already. The car has the ability to run full electric when...
