You mean 64% of 30% or in other words 19.2% of the fuel energy in the Prius is converted to motive power during a 10 second 0-60? The 30% figure...
It's not so much the 0-60 time that concerns me, it's the drive-train inefficiency, or put another way potential for improvement of said. I would...
Still 36% of the mechanical power lost to heat after the flywheel (room for improvement ??). Before the flywheel about 70% of the power is lost to...
So I was doing some physics calculations (reverse engineering wheel hp from 0 to 60 mph times) and considering the fact that the Prius has both a...
I would stay in Eco mode, and just push the pedal more. Eco helps in cold weather (turning engine off at a lower coolant temp), and hot weather...
Probably the same % of people that don't grasp the idea that it's really that pedal on the left that's not your mpg friend.
Which is the point about not focusing on the acceleration too much, I at least accelerate as fast other drivers. Note the Prius doesn't enrich the...
I accelerate quickly every time I know with high probability that I won't be immediately turning that momentum into brake dust or re-gen. I...
I guess it's like people (or governments) that spend beyond their means, the short term buzz, the excessive spending produces, temporarily rids...
Yes. I should said "is about the same as" instead of bigger. Overall point being of course that the numerical value change in mpg are not...
What is a good way to explain to the 99% of drivers out there that don't understand why braking is by far the biggest contributor to bad city mpg...
I agree with this for the most part, if one has displaced the pedal half way down in PWR mode, there is less additional thrust to be gained and...
Remember a regular car's mpg going from 31 mpg to 28 mpg with A/C use is a bigger $ and gasoline hit to your pocket than a Prius going from 60 mpg...
So based on the last post, as my car's average speed is usually about 25 mph, this may be about a 6% to 7% hit to my mpg when lights on. By...
The post from babybird was one of the most insightful posts I've read on priuschat on the subject of neutral coasting. I thought I knew it all,...
I believe I read in another thread that the optimum regen rate (when you have to burn off speed) is half way into regen region in the HSI. While I...
Actually, the boot I put in was made from a round wood brush handle (about 1 inch diameter) . I cut about a 1 inch cylindrical section and drilled...
Just to be clear my objective with this is to achieve efficiency while maximizing safety. In my opinion having to glance at the HSI HUD or not,...
I believe if the temp is actually set to "HI" instead of say a degree lower, this invokes a different algorithm that keeps the engine on a lot...
Could it be the motors disengaging just like the regen disengages for a second or two when one hit a rough patch or bumps. Perhaps the same...
