There's a link in the first post. It's the very first word. ;) Some of the data on the larger cars I had to "dig out" on page 2 of the...
Here's an example from Prius Owner "revhigh" QUOTE: "I've averaged about 45 mpg [in my Prius G3], which is great, but my wife's 2012 Mazda 3...
Allow 15 seconds for the oil pump to "push" the oil into the pistons & wash away the combustion byproducts from the last run. And then drive off.
It seems like the wider tires would lower the MPG (more air resistance). Ditto the larger rear spoiler described in wikipedia?
(1) Do the G1 and G3 Priuses have any "touring" packages? (2) How is the G2 Touring different from the standard G2? thanks :D
