Separate names with a comma.
Thanks for all of these tips. I will give some of these things a try for sure. I am especially suspicious of the 12v battery.
I think it probably is the tires. (I actually don't think the tires are that great in other respects either, honestly--the car easily slides on...
The tires are Michelin Defender XT. Does anyone know if they would have an effect on mpg?
I think I got about 40 mpg driving Tucson to Nashville. But I was probably going at 75 mph most of the way... Does that seem reasonable?
Would a weak module show up on diagnostics when serviced at the dealer? Because we have had most of our service done at the dealer, or a...
The tires were replaced at ~30,000 miles. Tucson roads were very hard on the tires. The current tires are Michelin tires from Costco, I don't know...
Can I ask the question another way... Would you expect any difference in mileage for an 8-year old Prius with 50,000 miles compared to when it's...
Thanks for your reply. Well it's like 3 miles to a daycare facility, 5-10 minutes stopped to pick up the kids, then 3 miles back. Both directions...
You're right, I updated my profile, thanks for the tip. I think our mileage was decreasing even when we lived in Tucson, and it's been further...
Thanks for your reply. I used to ride a bike to work before I had kids, but now there are two kids to be transferred. So a bike is not an option!
Thanks for your reply. There is a lot of sitting and traffic and creeping along on our admittedly brief commute.
Thanks for your reply. To answer your questions: - we have owned it since new, 8 years - 50,000 miles - 6,000 miles/year - I believe the mpg has...
Our 2011 Prius has ~50,000 miles on it. We live in Nashville, TN (moderately hilly). The main driving we do is a 6 mile round trip each day in the...
Hi all, Well, the pinstripes are off! The car looks good as new. (Better than new, really... since "new" included the pinstripes!) @bedrock8x,...
@mgb4tim, sorry, no offense intended. I realize it's a matter of taste, and of course tastes will vary! I am just irritated because I didn't have...
Every single Prius on the lot had the silly pinstripes. Otherwise I would have been near tempted to upgrade to a III or something to avoid them!...
Thanks very much for your input, everyone. Here is a photo of the front of the offending pinstripe. You can see the part that they flaked off...
It's definitely not vinyl. I wish it was. They originally thought it was vinyl and they were going to pull it off before the sale. The tried to do...
Well they said it would take 60-90 mins, so that can't possibly involve any repainting, right???
@tumbleweed, Yeah I don't know what moron thought that this would make the car look better. It is very cheap and dated looking. @Gary Otto, I...
