    Just use the desktop (full) version. That's what I do on my iPhone.

    Full version of Tapatalk? I'll try to find that. Didn't know there was different versions.

    No, the full version of priuschat.com as if you were viewing it on your desktop/laptop. You can select the desktop version in Safari. There's a button at the bottom.

    I see what you mean. Look at the forum in a browser rather than Tapatalk. I'll give it a shot :)

    Thanks,

    Added 17's to my car today, found used set of 205/50/17's. I like the ride and look, mpg down a little, but if I keep the 17's I'll get better tire. Tint job next.

    Just added the Goodyears, around 44/45 with the heater on, before the tire change with Yokohama AVID S33D about 47/48 with the heater on. With the Yokohama I would get 53/55 in the spring and summer.

    *Fuel Economy update*

    I am seeing a pattern emerge with winter weather. If I am careful and keep my speeds at 65mph and below I see 52-53mpg tanks (indicated). This is without any real hypermiling other than long glides when coming to a stop. I keep it in Power mode and drive like a good citizen. If, instead, I drive fast at 75mph+ and accelerate quickly I see 46mpg or so which includes driving in rain. I am stuck with winter blend fuel now and ambient temps while driving are 40F-45F in the morning and 55F-65F in the evening. While this is not really cold it is cold enough to hurt fuel economy quite a bit compared to what I see at temps in the 95F+ range. I completed a trip north to Arcata, CA with a full car up and over the mountains in cold temps and rain. I averaged 44mpg there and 42mpg back (different route). Average speed indicated 59mph over 289 miles.

    This morning I aired the tires back up to 45/44psi and drove using my conservative techniques and was rewarded with a 47.5mpg trip to work in 40F-45F temps. This is what I achieved with the PureContact tire (same size) before winter blend fuel and in warmer temps. I have a feeling these Ecopias will keep me well over 50mpg once temps warm back up and we switch to summer blend fuel.

    Keep in mind the 47.5mpg for today's commute was just for the uphill portion. The return commute would be 70+mpg.

    Great thread. Just an FYI, I am selling a set of the same wheels in the /Private-Sales/ section.
