Separate names with a comma.
The computer keeps a running tally of two numbers: gallons used, and miles traveled. In Europe they like to express fuel economy in terms of...
The problem with those who have "negative equity" in their present car (i.e., they owe more than the trade-in value) is that the bank won't let...
I had a '74 Vega. But I guess many criminals are not very bright, and might even steal THAT?
Though I must point out that the coordinates are near Nagoya, which is a very different city than Tokyo. May seem like a small point, but if you...
I'll bet those particular birds drive Hummers and wanted to express what they think of eco-weenies who drive Prii.
Of course the ICE uses gas when it is running and you're stopped; it might be because the car wants to charge the battery, or keep the catalytic...
Thanks for taking the time to make these careful measurements! I would have expected fuel use to scale with the kinetic energy of air displaced,...
Here are a few rough estimates on the Prius: 1. The total capacity of the HV battery is the work equivalent of about 1/10 of a gallon of gas. 2....
I suspect it's done in a rather simple way, using programmable feedback loops. I agre with Tempus that the Toyota engineers have probably done a...
If the Prius had solar panels covering the roof and hood, you might be able to get the equivalent of about 1/9 of a gallon of gas a day, based on...
Adding to smog (unburned hydrocarbons in the air - a little spilled gas equals a lot of tailpipe emissions), breathing in carcinogens (benzene),...
I've used both a bike rack and a ski box with the rack. Works fine; stable. Mileage hit is certainly not huge, but I haven't done a systematic...
I too had this problem when I got the thing. I posted my question here, and got an answer within an hour - but in the meantime I also called...
Yup - I travel a bit for work - there are a lot of Prii on the Pacific coast, and a lot in the Washington DC area, and some in New York, but not...
What is an exhaust wrap? Why would a hot tailpipe help? I suppose a pre-heated catalytic converter would help with reducing emissions the first...
I took just one ski trip with a roof box last year (did most of my skiing west via airplane rather than east via car). I wasn't very careful on...
When driving at a speed that is fast enough for the gas motor to be at a good point on its efficiency curve, it is BETTER to run off the gas...
Good point! - and this is why it is just not worth it to try to squeeze another half gallon in to a car that already goes a long way between fillups.
It looks like a magnet that sits on the fuel line. Complete baloney - even though one would think that it must be true because it's advertised on...
It takes more power to climb a hill than to drive on the flats so it is inevitable that the fuel flow would have to go up (unless the extra power...
