There are TWO versions of the Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max in the stock size for the Prius. The OEM one weighs 19lbs and has a pressure rating of...
Namecalling is always a good option when you don't understand what you are talking about. Just another dose of the arrogance too often apparent...
Regeneration and charging are the same chemical process: charging the battery is the same as regenerating it to its original state, the...
Some drivers are both.
Speaking as a chemist, I'd opine that the electrons don't know the difference. In the Insight world, regen applies equally to charge gained from...
But it doesn't charge the battery all the way up. Phew, that took a long time to clarify. Yes it varies. I don't have a lot of data for the...
What I meant was that I run EV for long periods of time (as long as terrain and speed permit), recharge with the ICE, and repeat. SOC goes up to...
Apologies, I was unclear. What I meant was regen by the ICE, using an efficient ICE, not braking regen or decel regen. What the standard Prius...
Personally I feel that the Volt EV-then-ICE with no regen is a poor design. I believe blended use is a smarter approach. If I state my opinion,...
I read somewhere that higher pressures are LESS likely to result in a puncture than low pressures are. The reasoning was that the tire was less...
and Volt?
I agree with you. Interesting that "being safe" in many minds has become equated with speeding: "it's safer if you speed". Also, any...
I don't know, but I guessed that the temp setting would affect the mpg drag more than the fan setting? I usually use a middle fan setting. When...
Now see for me that would be boring. In a Prius at least. Wrong tool for the job, trying to hammer nails with a screwdriver. A lotta pennies....
By whom? By other drivers? If so how do you know they hate you because you are in a Prius? Most "drivers" today are oblivious to anything other...
Actually I DO enjoy driving my Prius. And seeing what mpg I can manage each day in it. Stop-and-crawls are never fun, but at least with the Prius...
I like that. I've been wondering how journalists and other drivers know how we are "smug" and that explains it!
Isn't it funny how nobody seems concerned about pissing off the people in front of them? Isn't it also funny how everybody thinks traffic in...
Or a bicycle.
This is absolutely a great idea. Not only does it help you on your commute, but it also teaches you how to deal with similar situations you...
