    Yeah, it looks like Toyota is trying to lighten up the 17" wheel option to minimise the mpg hit. Hopefully they'll list different mpg so people can make a choice.

    I know you guys figured it out on the next page but the Gen 1 Prius had a ridiculously short turning radius. The Gen 2 has the turning radius of a typical compact (C segment...?). The Gen 3 with 15" wheels is about the same.

    Yeah it's weird that it's listed at 11.80. Is your lock-to-lock ratio different than ours?

    The North America spec is 2.75 lock-to-lock for the 17" wheels.

    The Gen 1 Prius had a really tight turning radius.

    The minimum width varies across Metro Vancouver.

    In Victoria, our local Costco (Langford) has the large parking spots with the spaced double lines between parking stalls.

    Supermarkets and parking stations: Not so much.

    Tideland, just thinking about your multi-quote postings: you're as busy as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. :ROFLMAO:

    Gotta set an example.

    Unless you want @Paradox merging your posts :D

    What's the rationale for merged posts?

    I can see the benefit where providing a common or closely related answer to a number of posts but when addressing unrelated issues in different posts it seems to me it can reduce clarity and I don't see an offsetting benefit..

    Remember the previous website configuration? If you quoted a posting, and it had a quote, it was accordingly transferred in your quote. This nesting went three "generations" IIRC.

    If you viewed a maxed-out quoted posting on a smart phone, it was just nuts: you needed to thumb down page after page, blank white space with just thread lines. Eventually you came upon ultra right-justified text, some times only one word per line.

    And often this was just the quote hangers on, three generations away from the meat of the message.

    Rambling.

    Mostly it's older forum etiquette. There are avatars and signatures and they can take up space. If you're answering 3 one-liners, there's less white space if you quote all 3 into one post and reply to them separately within the post instead of replying 3 times in 3 separate posts and having all that one space between the one-liner and your signature.

    The only time I might separate the post is if I have a separate opinion that I want to state that's separate from the quotes I'm replying to, although I haven't done it often. I usually just put my opinion/reply right at the top before responding to the quotes.
