Separate names with a comma.
pb, there are many many threads debating this during the recall brouhaha. My take is that if you have an emergency, you brake hard and the regen...
Concur that your commute is too fast and too crowded for P&G as a primary technique. I think you described the pulse fine. Once at the top...
Built-in grill blocking Built-in scanguage displays OP: great points. As to #1, is there no one in either place that could check on things once...
Mid 40's at 75 mph seems about right. I won't be testing that though; our maximums are 70, and the better mpgs are clearly at the slower speeds.
lw69: With practice, P&G will crush cruise control. Think 70+ versus your 40. OP: with your flat terrain (like mine in south-central KS), you...
nerfer, great advice for the OP. FYI, the 2010 does not need to stop to reach stage 4. Just a sub 45 mph glide or coast after sufficient...
Major changes I would hope for in 2012 MY: PHV option Lithium instead of NiMH What say you, team?
Tire pressure is a significant part of the issue. The ride will be harsher at 51/49, so try 40/38 or so and work your way up. 30 is too low....
Welcome to Priuschat! Please see cwerdna's questionaire here:...
Hey, welcome fellow Kansan! I'd say we get more than 1 a day, but do not know. Is your fuel economy meeting your expectations?
When forced to regen, you are certainly correct. However, regen involves major conversion losses, so maximum mpg is achieved with no regen....
So, there's sure to be lots of room to improve! No one with you or around you needs to know you are using most techniques. Read the "Beating the...
I change regular car synthetic at 5-7M miles (Fit, Tacoma). Prius at 9200 was the least "used" looking of any oil I ever changed. Those who've...
ICE at 6000-ish rpm plus two motors humming, LRR tires, wind, ok insulation. It will make noise, and it won't be dominated by the two motors, but...
Silent at more common speeds, but not due to insulation. Rather, quiet because the small ICE is not revving high in common use. At near max revs...
Put another way, if AC uses .09 gph (it will vary obviously), then every 11 hours of AC is a gallon of gas.
So if I can get say 55 mpg at 65 mph in a given set of conditions, that is 1.18 gph. Let's say that is no AC. Now add .09 gph for AC use for a...
The 2010 will go engine off in the right conditions up to 45 mph. For best mpg, don't overdo "going electric." Instead, learn pulse & glide....
Perhaps some of the reduced mpg cases involve something the ECUs have 'learned' that is actually hurting fuel economy. This would account for...
Welcome! Agreed on the 12V; even without discharging it, it may be near end of life. If your consumption increases, that is a good place to...
