Separate names with a comma.
That's only true if the vehicle control computer doesn't have some other reason for keeping the engine running, such as during the warm-up phase...
Absolutely - if the carpeting stays damp too long you can get mold and an unpleasant smell that's really hard to get rid of.
Here in Canada the display shows fuel economy using the Metric standard of litres consumed per 100 kilometers traveled (l/100km). By that...
It's pretty easy to use a voltmeter to check the voltage across the 12V battery terminals under the rear seat or between the under-hood jumper...
I'm not aware of any way to do this. You may have to simply estimate using the average miles per trip times the number of trips.
Ah, OK that sounds good. If the "Ready" light is off then the traction battery should not be connected and the readings you're seeing should be...
There's something odd going on there, because when the car is on ("Ready" light illuminated) the car is getting its 12V power from the DC/DC...
I'd try replacing the battery in both keys first. It's a cheap diagnostic.
The OP referred to "turning the key", so none of this would apply to him. The battery in the standard key only works the door locks and has...
The speed you choose to drive at is going to make much more of a difference to the "gas pedal burden" than any tweaking you can do once you reach...
I can't speak for others, but I'm a bit CDO about fuel economy so I reset my "Trip B" odometer at each fill-up after noting the fuel economy and...
When you first start the car the engine comes on to warm up - but while it's warming up the car tries to run off the battery in order to avoid...
Great tip. I use a bit dish soap when I'm changing a tire on my bicycle, it makes all the difference in the world.
Ignorance is bliss, I guess. My first impulse was not to do it, but it was a young lady alone at an Interstate rest stop at 5AM in the morning...
I don't consider myself as a hypermiler, but I've always paid attention to what's going on both immediately and well ahead of me and driven...
I hadn't heard that, so I just went ahead and did with with no ill effects. The 12V battery in the Prius is pretty tiny, so you want to have the...
It always amuses me to see the same car racing past me over and over again as I coast up to stop lights and generally go a nice even speed.
Actually, MoarMPGplz claimed to do exactly that, so I think the caution about messing up the evaporative emission control system is well warranted.
I've always seen the car report around 5-7% less fuel usage than it's actually consumed as measured by litres pumped. But that's based on many...
I bought my 2012 Prius C in 2014 and I assume it still has the original battery in it. Last fall I left the car in the garage when I went on a...
