Separate names with a comma.
Thank for the great info so far. So would the transmission efficiency value be higher with lower engine rpm at 60 mph (on a slight decline) or at...
I'm using an online MPG calculator where one can enter aerodynamic, rolling resistance, engine thermal efficiency and drivetrain efficiency data...
Good idea, I have to add combining multiple trips into one, better mpg (less warm ups), but more effort (effort in planning trip), I could see the...
I'm hoping the figures will be adjusted and refined to some extent. The values are initial values to communicate to get the idea floating. I think...
My stab at it. [IMG]
I've been searching this and other sites, without luck, for a ranking of mpg improvement techniques on the Prius according to their impact with an...
The idea here being that there is a step increase in foot pressure at 2 or 3 key position points in accelerator pedal travel so that one does not...
I'm disturbed that CR uses the 0-60 time as a way to judge how quickly a car can accelerate our of danger. This measure is too simplistic, because...
Even though I live in Illinois and after reading this Vehicle Conversion Rebate | Department of Energy , I suspect this rebate does not apply to...
Perception of a car being fast or slow, from the drivers perspective, is often determined by how much torque an engine has at lower engine speeds...
If I'm not mistaken, I believe battery assist only comes into play when one exceeds the PWR region. As one approaches the right tip of the PWR...
Thank for the information. Immediately, after trying the power charge technique a few days ago I noticed the HSI does not show/indicate to give an...
I had read that thread before I started this, but it did not answer what I am asking. If there was a PSD simulator for the Gen III, I believe I...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Power Torque Curve. Not sure if this uploaded in last post.
From attached Power and Torque Curve I cobbled together, I would also like to determine the maximum ICE rpm for a variety of road speeds. The...
If you accelerate at the right side of the PWR region from a stop up to your given speed you will consume 4.5% more fuel for the duration of the...
Imagine no more. I believe post this answers my question. post # 1582207
Could you elaborate. Remember the Prius is tuned for emissions first, mpg second, but if I can charge the battery faster, the engine will be off...
On a hot sunny day, occasionally I have to be stopped for extended periods with the A/C running which means the engine will come on for a few...
I think Toyota doesn't do this because most Prius drivers would not brake in a way to maximize the regen (when it's called for) such that the...
