Separate names with a comma.
That's odd. When I refuel my diesel beetle, the per gallon cost is less than the supreme gasoline the Volt uses. (And of course the Beetle gets...
Got it. Just seems odd that making the engine bigger would increase fuel economy. Normally you think "make the engine smaller, less cylinders,...
Diesel prototype of the Volt? They should have made that. It would increase its fuel economy another 10 MPG (the difference between a gas jetta...
I thought it was well-known the Prius has an artificial redline. The very first Prius (japanese model) was only 4000rpm in order to reduce...
I was watching a review on youtube where a Prius and pickup were running at 75. The Prius tried to pass the pickup, but the pickup driver...
The C has a much smaller engine. If a hypermiling driver drove 45-55mph, would the C be able to beat the standard prius in fuel economy?
Honda's only the # 2 seller of hybrids in the world, so yeah, it's such a "failure". Since you made me see the light I took my 3 insights to the...
After just one year I rusted-out a catalytic converter on my first car because my 2 mile trip was too short. Driving it every day did not prevent...
Excellent answer. So basically the 1.8L Atkinson engine is still more-powerful than the 1.3L in the original Civic Hybrid or the Insight G2. The...
All of this is just reconfirming my desire to get a Used G3. Thanks for answering all my questions.
Lean burn is more accurately called "stratified charge". The top 2/3rds of the piston(near the sparkplug) has a standard 14.7:1 air:fuel mixture,...
Negative 2 dollars a month to charge the Prius Plugin? Wow. NICE. We don't get those kinds of deals in the northeast. In fact I've heard many...
They make 3 cylinder cars that are gutless. (Not sure about Toyota specifically, but other companies do.) Those seem to sell well in high-cost...
In my home state the hybrid is subject to emissions test. If the "check engine" light is on, like in the case of a weak battery, the car...
So in theory it could be done. I wonder why Toyota never made a high MPG car with just the Atkinson engine..... like in an Echo or Yaris or...
I've always wondered how the Prius would "feel" if there was no electric assist. Has Toyota or anybody else used the Atkinson engine inside a...
Ahhh hold mode is even better. I'd stop the battery at 30% depletion and only charge to 80%. Keep it in that low-stress area of the battery....

[IMG] Kinda reminds me of what's inside my Insight, except it only shows CHG and PWR (not the middle part). Pretty useful to limit yourself and...
10 years will fly by fast. The warranty on my insight #2 expired in 8 years, and now I'm driving with a weak battery that would cost ME to...
