Separate names with a comma.
Also it isn't one gear..... your dealer is an idiot. The Prius (and many other automatics) have an Infinite number of gears from low to high....
55 mpg is "average" economy? Even if you're using UK gallons, that still sounds really good. What kind of MPG do you get in your other cars?...

Atkinson =/= Diesel efficiency. Diesel engines compress fuel upto 20 bar, which more completely burns the fuel (and why diesels have almost no CO...
I am all for eliminating tax CREDITS or cash handouts to oil companies (and corporations in general). And no Tesla is not the one who received a...
The V is a beautiful car.... I set the cruise control to 45 during a testdrive & after 100 interstate miles the display showed 70 MPG. That's...
The OP drives 45 miles/hour.... the insightcental forum used to have an MPG tracker, and there were about ten hypermilers that got 85to 95 mpg. I...
Like the Tesla the HAH motor runs directly to the wheels... no transmission. Ditto the engine. BTW I noticed new HAH owners saying they don't...
Does the Tesla have a transmission? I've seen the torn-down car in the store, and the motor runs directly to the wheels. It has nothing I would...
Non-hybrids do poorly on the EPA city test (which is ~60% of the combined rating). For people living in cities I recommend getting a pure EV or...
For me a subsidy is a direct cash payment from Congress to an oil company. Or a tax credit on the tax form (basically the same as cash)....
None because U.S. is diesel phobic. However the U.S. is not the entire world. In the EU hybrids barely sell at all, because the citizens can...
No I didn't. I said a diesel Beetle is more efficient than a gasoline Beetle on a BTU/mile. Please don't put words in my mouth I never uttered....
What oil subsidies? ACEEE uses the U.S. mix of coal/natural gas/hydro/nuclear. I don't know why they don't give an estimate for solar charging...
I don't understand how you can compare a modern European diesel with some lemon you drove in the 80s when the tech was still primitive (and not...
Hello..... since the Prius engine can spin slow or fast, even if the speed is held constant, that means it has a variable ratio engine-to-wheels....
Oh and I did list the Combined MPG (in another post). Non-hybrids perform poorly. Maybe you should go read that post before you say "he didn't...
I didn't list the BMW or Mercedes price because everyone already knows it's insane. (Just like they know 2+2 = 4.) I'd definitely buy a Prius...
I left-off the Civic HF, which gets 41 mpg. And yes diesels have more BTUs per gallon, but they are still more efficient overall. For example,...
THS is not fixed ratio since the motors change their speeds & thereby change the gear ratio between the gasoline engine and the wheels. In...
