gawd I hate cold weather

Put some peanut butter on them. They will taste a bit better.

 

Now you are defending the car that make you whine all the time. Who is weird now??

 

how do we determine what safety features are just theatre, and which ones actually help, if we can't trust the government?

 

I'm definitely partial to safety glass. Especially in the absence of seat belts.

 

The only thing I like about that car, is the gas mileage. That's about it. The rest of it is totally strange and weird and unnecessarily complicated.

I'm only strange, when I walk around outside at midnight in nothing but my boxer shorts, and howl at the moon.

 

You mean the US one bought & paid for by big business? Surely you jest!

 

cc, i thought we were discussing the weather. i know, i know, you live in san diego.

 

Make America GREAT Again!

 

It's 26 in Jacksonville Florida at 7am. Winter comes and goes around here. My gen2 doesn't seem to care. I was in NW Washington in December and saw lots of Priii with no issues.

Currently 5F here in Virginia.

 

we hope to be there from 2/10 -3/10. a lot of family coming and going, it will be hard to convince my wife. but if you end up doing something, let me know, i will try to make it, thanks!

 

Yup, 10% for cold, 10% wintergas, 10% short trips.
Assuming
50 mpg summer
Ballpark results
45 mpg winter gas 20+ mile trips
40 mpg cold 10-20 miles
35 mpg short trips in winter, < 10 miles

 

So, is the appropriate comment "Get out of Dodge!" ?

 

It may be one of the reasons there are snowbirds in the south.

 

I'm in Canadian prairies. In summer I average 5lt/100km, in winter 6.1lt/100km. It's still way better than most vehicles.

You might want to clarify your Profile location. For most people in the US CA == California.
In the rest of the world, CA == Canada. You guys even have the .ca Internet domain.

 

There is a big difference for me here in Florida. In winter the weather is perfect so no A/C or heat. Most of the year we have to run the air conditioning full blast which really drains the battery and effects mileage. I lose about 8mpg but I guess it's nothing compared to the real cold climates.

 

60-70 here.
