Looking at the vehicles generally purchased by the government, it should be fairly clear why they only drive them for 50k miles ;)
Heres a few quick thoughts: 1) Most of the changes from '04 to '09 are related to options. There were a few changes made in '06, a different...
I know a number of people have been following the CARB debate on the future of PHEV conversions, so I thought I would pass along the following...
I'm pretty sure they don't use the boost converter at low rpms, as its more efficient without it. There are losses associated with the...
I'm sure its been mentioned elsewhere, but this is not really a new idea. Audi and a number of other luxury cars have had this sort of thing for...
I'd have to agree with Spinnr, this is a very useful feature in Phoenix. Maybe not so much else where. AC cool down is at least as much of a...
Sounds interesting.
Incidently, in Seattle in December, if you can find a south facing 47 degree hill to park on you can more than double your solar output. Maybe a...
It certainly is a natural fit. The car will tend to heat up when its sunny, and the sun angle is high (ie in summer). Part of the problem with...
Wow, you are witty! How do you come up with those? You'd save the world a lot more if you slowed down and didn't drive like an idiot. Rob

Thanks saintjerome, I've enjoyed checking out your conversion. We also got our first Prius from Steve a while back, he does really nice work....
But your SUV probably costs you more than $12 to fill up ;) My Land Rover used to get 300 miles on a tank, but took 23 gallons (of premium) to...
I'd say your first group (enthusiasts) are subdivided into two groups as well. 1) Those who see their Jeep as a tool for exploring amazing places...
More to the point, "rising to the challenge" accomplishes nothing and wrecks your MPG average ;) Rob
Your guess is as good as mine on problem getting into S4. I'm vaguely familiar with the concept, but don't have a scan gauge. I've rarely had...
This is a total guess, but I wonder if the boost converter in the inverter kicks in around 34mph? The boost converter converts the battery's...
More problematic, its interlaced ntsc RGB. Can't use regular VGA, can't use regular NTSC composite video. Depending on the video card, you may...
Welcome!
We were planning to go the Prius + Camry hybrid route, but when we went to drive it we weren't as impressed as we thought we'd be. The ride was...
