    Yes Fredatgolf,

    It is a conspiracy. Actually, your name should have appeared more than twice in this thread.

    I found your name in another thread here...

    Nice to see an explanation of the username thing.

    Now back to worrying about bladder cancer, or whatever the problem is...

    Good analysis, Marv. The author was experimenting with the message drafting aids above the dialog box - new to the site, apparently. Now, why is the capital I after some names added in this way?

    Does the gasoline in that market area contain ethanol?

    Are you the original owner of the car?

    Do you know if any fuel additives or fuel system cleaners have ever been introduced into the gas tank?

    get the dealer to change the fuel filter and try driving the car. If you have a plugged filter and the ICE doesn't get fuel it wont run and will set the hybrid light. That's the first thing I'd do and the cheapest. How about some codes that they pulled off the buss. Maybe we can give you some more constructive advice.

    Hey
    The name thing really is cool. Does this work only on this site or does the code your talking about work on other sites? How about e-mail? Now how did you do this? Fun Fun Fun
    Thanks,

    Was watching Bush's National Energy Strategy speech this morning @ 11:00 am EST on CNBC (just as Shiavo's autopsy Breaking News was pre-empting Bush on MSNBC, Fox, CNN, LOL!) and Bush's second platform with regards to strategy, AFTER HYBRIDS (FIRST ON HIS LIST, WOW) was conserving imported oil via NATIONAL plan for Corn Ethanol additives and Bio-diesel. He mentioned 15% Ethanol!

    Does anyone know if such Ethanol additive would have any effects on Prii's Bladder? Just curious and obviously ignorant here ;)

    The last time I envoked the (YOU) command, it backfired. So let me make this very clear:

    In this post, you are going to see your own name, whoever you are. So, [you], get over it.

    Ya see, if you click the (Reply) button at the bottom of the page, you go to the "Reply" page. On the page, there are a bunch of buttons. One of them is called, YOU. If you use that button, it places a tag in your post. That tag automatically takes the reader's name and inserts it.

    So I can say things like, "hey everyone, did you know that [you] is a really great person?" and compliment everyone equally because everyone's name will be inserted into the spot.

    I hope that explains it. The only way to truly understand is to hit (reply) and then click the YOU button. Then click the [Preview] button rather than post. You will see your own name.

    It is a non-issue. Here in Minnesota, E10 (10% ethanol, 90% gas) is the only fuel available. And that's what Prius have been using for 5 years now... without ever reporting any problem at all with it.

    ScubaX's post as I saw it:

    "Fredatgolf wrote (): › ‹ Select ›‹ Expand ›
    Now what is my name doing on this? I haven't made a post on this subject, yet my name comes up twice. Is it a Russian conspiracy?


    No, DanMan32 your hearing voices and should see a doctor. "

    Was really confusing at first!

    I am trying to work with the Service Center, but they are not being open to any other ideas. How do I get the codes that was used to diagnose this problem? Just ask for them?

    I do not know about our gas in the market area containing ETOH
    I am the original and only owner driver of the care
    Nothing but gas has been added to my car's fuel tank
