Separate names with a comma.
Ditto. As I understand it, it wastes gas to accelerate away from a stoplight on battery. You're taking the gasoline, losing an additional...
Yes. There was a thread here some time back noting that the peak efficiency for the ICE was in the 1800-2200 RPM range with about 55% engine...
For me, the interesting part of the press release is that they said they were going to start selling the panels retail next year. Maybe we'll...
I got an earful on electric bikes today from my former next-door-neighbor, the owner of Bikes at Vienna. He won't sell them. He sells electric...
I approached this with an open mind when it was posted a few months (?) back. After some research, I was convinced there was nothing to it....
I'd agree with the fat tire thing on a recumbent or semi recumbent as well, but for a different reason. They have tiny wheels. Tiny wheels =...
I have a semi-recumbent with folding wire-basket panniers (truly nerdly) and a Burley cargo trailer (for those times when you just can't leave...
I had no idea the US Interstate Commerce Commission was such a player in this arena. Well, I guess transportation does contribute a fair share...
Same here.
I'll be the heavy here and disagree. This law is being made in the total absence of facts or evidence, and based entirely on anecdote. It's...
Darelldd, With your diet you would almost certainly be using far fewer fossil fuel calories per edible calorie than the average. The same amount...
The paper darelldd cited made essentially the same observation about relative efficiency of light electrical transport. I think they said it was...
I think they were behind the curve, and the rapid shift in gas prices just made them further behind the curve. I'm guessing the decision to do...
Maybe a better description of the highway mileage is that, on the highway, the Prius can largely get by using just a 70 HP engine because it has...
I think that's rational as long as you are careful. Rough transition was the conclusion of a fairly thoughtful 2005 DOE report that got some...
Cool, those guys are bigger nerds than I am. But their numbers are in the ballpark. They say 20% energy overhead for oil, and just under 6...
Fluxus, sure, by my estimate, the average adult American could accommodate about 300 miles of riding per year, with no additional food, based...
I'd be reluctant to load that much weight on a Prius-mounted trailer hitch. I got a class I hitch and was not even comfortable with the amount of...
I never said anything like "definitive proof". Look at the section you quoted. Note my use of the word "estimate" to describe the mileage. Note...
Well, I said I wouldn't post any more, but I feel obliged to respond to this. Quoting from the original post, the OP claimed to have "THE...
