Milwaukee Hybrid Group EBH Install Party

Hello to MiHG members and friends,

The Milwaukee Hybrid Group is announcing another Group Buy on Toyota Prius Electric Block Heaters. We will be offering the new OEM combined EBH that is now for all the 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation Prius as well as the Camry Hybrid. Your pickup price will be $40 if you want us to hold it for you for the Install Party or $45 to be shipped anywhere in the US. EBH’s are now in stock and available to ship immediately. Prepare and install while it’s warm…now there’s an idea.

The MiHG will also be having an EBH Install Party on Saturday September 26th in the Milwaukee area. This will be for all MiHG, MHG, CPG or CMPG members as well as any other interested Prius owners. A donation of $25 per install is suggested for our MiHG/CPG team of installers. Put all these costs into the perspective though. Many Toyota dealers do not even carry the Prius EBH, if they do carry them they charge about $60 per EBH and here’s the kicker, around $200 to install. So do the math $65 vs $260.

EBH’s, in general, are a cost effective means of mitigating the negative effects of cold starts. They can lower tailpipe emissions and raise fuel economy in the first 5 minutes from cold startup. These particular Prius EBH’s will also help speed up the 2nd and 3rd stage of warm-up by raising operating water temperatures quicker. Typical electric costs for the recommended 3 hour timing are about .30 to .40. See the Wayne Mitchell attachment on the Four Stages of Warm-Up with a HSD vehicle for details.

In addition to this great price on Toyota Prius OEM EBH’s, the MiHG continues to offer a good price on the new, highly acclaimed Bentley Prius Repair and Maintenance Manual. We have sold over 100 manuals and shipped many across the country and into Canada. The price of the Manual is S45.00 pickup (Meet) or $50.00 shipped in the US. Prius websites have been posting the very positive reviews on this 643 page hard cover edition that is quickly becoming the bible to 2nd and 3rd gen Prius owners.

We also have received another shipment of the Linear Logic ScanGauge 2 with X Gauge. Our MiHG price for the SG2’s is (too low to post) pickup (Meet) or (email for price) shipped in the US. This is an essential tool in so many ways but this is the only way to determine the water temp in monitoring the warm-up stages in the Prius.

If you are interested in the EBH, SG2, or the Prius Repair Manual just email us and let us know your interest. We now have several ways of handling your payment. Please send an email with your interest to [email protected] for instructions.

We thank those in the MiHG community that have taken advantage of previous MiHG buys since a small portion of our prices supports our activities. Two of our current activities are our expanding Drive $mart America fuel efficient driver training program and our new Pump Your Ride to $avings public tire pressure checks program. As the nations largest hybrid owners group we want to continue to promote fuel efficient vehicle ownership and fuel efficient driving in any vehicle. Your support helps us to support and help others.

If you buy an EBH, we’ll notify you of the location on the Install Party and you’ll be getting additional information about scheduling your install on the 26th and other logistic questions. If you live in the Chicago area, Wayne Mitchell and the Chicago Prius Group will also be having an Install party in the near future as well. If you’d like to take advantage of this opportunity, reply to this email and I’ll forward it to the Chicago Prius Group.

Thanks for all your support and we look forward to seeing you at our next MiHG Meet on 10-17-09 in Oak Creek.
