Separate names with a comma.
My observation is that drivers tend to instinctively defend the car purchase that they've already made. It is certainly true of this site.
To me this discussion, comparing hybrids, plug-ins and "clean diesels", is absolutely moot. Some of the best selling vehicles in the US are pickup...
If your vehicle were brand new and exhibited this level of oil consumption, you would not have a warranty claim (see below). Just add oil as...

The Prius has the simplest of suspension systems -- McPherson Strut plus a rear beam axle. There are limitation to both these systems. The absence...
Actually, Toyota should have designed the interior lights so that they time-out after some prescribed interval. I had the 12v battery discharged...
