Although I saw 100% electric several times at high speed I doubt this has much of an effect on consumption. At 100 kph the big gains are from...
The first stage of warmup is finished after about a minute, at that point the ICE can shut off. To be fully warmed up it takes about 7-8 minutes,...
For my last tank of gas... Computer: 4.0 l/100 km Calculated: 4.25 l/100 km 6% optimistic
My 2010 Auris came with the exact same rims, and Michelin Primacy HP 215/45/17 from the factory. I'm not sure if they are supposed to handle the...
It's not a prius, but it's the same 3rd gen Hybrid Synergy Drive system under the skin :)
I have a couple of issues with this photo, irrelevant to my original point :) The temperature indicator on the left does not light all bars from...
Darn, and I though my Auris had special programming, heheh ;) I am not worried about SOC, I'm sure there is battery management software that keeps...
Prior to getting my Auris hybrid (identical drivetrain as a 3rd gen prius) I consulted with a friend in the states that owns a 1st gen prius. He...
There goes the 42 mph myth. I stopped trying to hypermile, and just set my CC to 100kph, and what do I see yesterday? [ATTACH] If I didn't see...
By the way, to get these great numbers I noticed the car must be fully warmed up. It takes around 10-15 mins.
I finally calculated my fuel efficiency. I did 697.8 km using 29.67 l which comes to 4.25 l/100 km vs an indicated 4.0 l/100 km. So the computer...
Not true. Your rating is RON, Americans use (RON+MON)/2 which results in 4 to 6 octane numbers lower because MON is 8 to 12 octane lower than...
Gas from the refineries is pretty much the same, where it can go all wrong is either a clueless or an unscrupulous station operator. For...
If you put by mistake 87 octane gas in a 2013+ Nissan GTR, you will be OK so long you drive gently. If you press it during a hot summer day it...
Premium is definitely not a scam. Some high performance cars are actually tuned for 93 oct gas, if you use lower grade gas, the car can go into...
Today I did highway driving at 100 kph with CC! I never disengaged it. I noticed when the HSI shows a medium to low load (needle at or below...
I wished Toyota would bring the new hybrid Auris in the USA, the interior is very modern and sexy.
My most common commute is 73 km, the time difference 80 kph vs 100 kph is 11 mins. It's just not worth it.
There is something to be said about just driving the darn thing :) When I drove it carelessly from the dealer in Dusseldorf Germany to Brindisi...
My strategy is to avoid running the ICE when it will be inefficient. On uphills if the CC will push the HSI into PWR I slow down until I can keep...
