Separate names with a comma.
When I firs saw this, two things jumped into my mind. 1) stored energy/weight is high, but that is largely because the weight of carbon is so...
I edited my first post in this thread to try to give a fairer ranking based on modified IFL scores. Please see the new table shown there. - g
I didn't think the greatly-changed Hybrid numbers were caused by incomplete input data, but it looks like that is largely the case. I wrote to IFL...

Sorry, I should have explained better. There are two issues to get the latest numbers and the correct ones. First, you have to enter the data...
Informed For Life , a rating group in the State of Connecticut uses "a comprehensive approach to evaluating the relative safety of vehicles,...
I think it is easy to underestimate just how well the 2010 Prius did in its crash testing. The only place I know of that does a good job of...
Thanks - and care to divulge current PSI in your Prius?? Yes, blow outs are bad, but what about that question of "Which is more dangerous,...
It's great that you picked up 4 MPG. Probably some of that is coming from something other than tire pressure - maybe car break-in, better driving,...
It's not an easy question to answer. Increasing pressure - improves FE, tire tread and tire body lifetime (probably), cornering - degrades...
OK, here's one of many links specifying about 25 kW-hr / 100 mi of city driving GM Media Online There are many links giving 50 MPG when on...
Your points make sense. You are trying to figure out the compound energy used in both electric and gas modes. I don't know if GM has released the...
You could argue that MPG only truly only makes sense when the car uses only gasoline (or another liquid fuel). But since people apparently want to...
This is true and even more apparent if you pro-rate the current sales this year to projected end-of-year sales. Then, for the last 3 years, we...
Great! Let's hope another 1.5 months will get us to 3 million, eh... :lol:
Thanks for the great writeup. BTW, I thought I remembered that 65 (I guess they meant 64.5 ;-) ) put you in the top 8% (averaged over several...
320 miles... but that's because I wanted Winter Gray Metallic and the NavPak. They found one in another city, and I agreed to let them drive it...
What you say is certainly possible, although I guess it could also have gone the other way. Looks like what they really mean is < 64.5 not < 65....
I think the 2010 Prius's new 64.9 SCORE is super!! It's a shame that the 2010 Prius missed the hot zone (by 4/10 of one point) becasue the SCORE...
I'd like to propose a new NHTSA star rating system. The present system only shows a star improvement after a carmaker has improved ONE FULL STAR....
