Why do some insist I do not understand P&G? I take it as an insult. I'm talking about fuel economy driving HV miles, I hold EV miles for...
HV mode that's optimized for the PIP not copied from the non plug in. Example ICE shut down on deceleration should happen at 62 MPH like in EV mode.
Not really! Here is a tutorial: Driving technique: exploring 'Pulse and Glide' - MetroMPG.com Form which it is clear that the technique works at...
As I understand it pulse and glide should work at pretty much any speed. I'm trying to adopt pulse and glide but I drive on mostly 55 MPH hilly...
I've found that higher speeds, in the recent past, can dramatically reduce the estimate. While I'm just puttering around town and stay under 50...
Greg, Do your own research! Prove your assertion!
Greg, GM, Ford and Chrysler not only believe that aerodynamics are improved, they have actually invested in development and introduction of active...

"Grill blocking: you'll find plenty of people blocking grills on all sorts of cars for the aerodynamic benefit on Ecomodder. There have been...
Greg, Stiffer lubricants are certainly involved BUT they are stiffer BECAUSE they are losing their heat to the environment and that heat loss...
Greg, We all experience a significant drop in fuel economy with colder temperatures. Those of us who block our grills know very well that...
I'm not planning any swaps. I would like to understand all the differences out of simple curiosity.
I assume you are saying the power rating of MG2 is higher, is it physically a different size or simply rated differently? Are there any gear ratio...
Does anyone know if the plug in uses the same "transmission" as the hatchback and if different what are the differences?
By using the "score" concept of % improvement over EPA data I can quickly see that currently the best hypermilers among Prius drivers are not...
