Welcome from a few miles to your west! I make regular trips to and through your neck of the woods -- a part time job near Kingsmill, another in...
Although I'd still be wary, based on this thread. Two and a half years-plus later, and they're still using Coastal's pic and selling what appears...
As others suggest, it sounds like normal behavior if the battery is full ("full" actually being closer to 80%, though the MFD shows all green...
http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-prius-technical-discussion/50270-virtues-electric-vehicle-switch.html At 60F, it should activate as long as...
Battery power is considerably reduced at low temperature extremes, so the car has to make up for it with greater ICE power. I've never driven in...
Certainly the heater adds to the cold-weather hit, but it does so by prolonging or even aborting warmup before S4 is reached. It's not the power...
If the shifter shifts, I would leave it alone. If it affects function of the car and you have any mechanical inclination, you might consider...
Where are you in VA? If you're anywhere close to Richmond, I don't mind taking a ride with you to see what guidance, if any, I might be able to...
Excellent report, thanks! I don't know that anyone previously has done such an extensive test, with this much control of confounding variables,...
Jimbo: Combined nickname of first and middle names. K: First initial of last name. Not terribly creative but it works.
I agree with the others. I chose the Prius over the Civic hybrid (2005 model year) for a number of reasons, one of which is the roominess. For...
I haven't discussed highway RPM much on the forums because I don't do much highway driving. There is some mention on CleanMPG -- the Super...
The term "AC" as used on the Prius display is confusing. It is indeed, as Vic says, conditioning the air. But we are accustomed to using the...
Great idea if you can make it work. By "throttle" it sounds like you're actually referring to the accelerator versus engine throttle. The...
No, not too much, although one of our technical experts-in-residence (not me) might be able to tell you more. The DTCs are the most important...
Your findings of the relationship between RPM and the speed/iMPG ratio ("i" for instantaneous, for the sake of newbies who somehow might think...
If it was mine, I would consider either a salvage battery or Re-Involt. E-bay has many for well under $1000. Re-Involt has gotten favorable...
Speaking of cultural differences .... A few years ago I attended a conference in York, England. One evening as we were unwinding in the hotel...
The fuel economy drop is to be expected. Any car's FE drops in cold weather. The effect is exaggerated somewhat in the Prius because of its...
You're sort of correct. The car reduces battery use in extreme cold. The cutoff seems to be a battery temperature of about 35F, although that...
