I think it is interesting that the Prius gets 84 and the PIP 73, when logically the only negative difference between the two is the missing spare...
My reported watt-hours per mile has been as low as 170 wh/mile in the summer and now about 190 wh/m. In my 2010 Prius I would get about 50 mpg...
The way I understand it...the large US oil companies pay no US income taxes in the same way that Apple doesn't (or minimizes it). This is a US tax...
Everyone, make sure and include the losses for driving to the gas station. Mike
I agree that EVs should make it on their own. However... ICE cars already get a number of benefits that are difficult to "take away." For...
The difficult question (for Toyota) is are they losing PIP sales to Volts/Leafs/Fords or are they losing them to other models of a Prius? There is...
Yes, but you weren't promoting your legal advice for your direct financial gain either. Free advice is great. Free advice about your specific...
It is very simple...the engine gets warm due to waste* heat. You can produce the waste heat while idling...thus doing nothing in term sof...

At $0.27/kwh every watt you save (that is on 24/7) you will save you $2.36/yr. Assuming you'd like ~4 year payback and you figure out how to shut...
I'd be careful when asking for this. Every time someone says they have a piece of their mind to give to me it isn't a pleasant piece. Mike

Toyota on the Gen II Prius (as well as sterring wheels toggles) Gen I was manual knobs. Gen III and PIP is push button toggles. Mike
This point should be repeated a few times. EV mode driving reduces engine wear and reduces a lot of the most damaging wear (short trips). For...
