Separate names with a comma.
With recent Ford lowering MPG of it's cars, it reminds me of this thread. I think we should discuss more about it. Why is PiP's RLHP lower than a...
When I drive the PiP in EV Boost mode, the gas engine rpm stays very low, so is the engine sound. It sounds like it is just idling since it revs...
I think MGs are rated the same but the software is tuned differently. Since there is more electricity going around (from bigger battery), ICE can...
Check if a tow hitch was installed in those Priuses. If not, check if ATF was ever changed. It is not necessary but it is good if you see previous...
So, why do you believe CR instead of EPA? You said you have no idea if CR test cycle is relevance to you, yet still hanging on to their finding...
Again, heavier car will get more penalized with more aggressive driving. If you drive like CR and regularly get 44 MPG, you'll likely get 1 MPG...
It amazes me that PiP on turnpike going 75 mph can get 50 mpg. The only trick I used was fly like a bird. Moving as a flock of cars, I am able to...
In the summer, A/C runs on electricity, so gas engine wouldn't start. Even if it runs due to higher speed or for more power, it would propel the...
That's clearly more extreme than the EPA city cycle. You won't get EPA figure. Before we moved, I had 2 miles commute with 13 redlights and a...
City cycle is about 23 mins long, 17 stops. At one section, it goes above 55 mph. [IMG]
50 MPG gas engine is as clean as 100 MPGe EV (about 220 gram/mile). Volt or Energi electric efficiencies are rated at 98 and 88 MPGe. Their EV...
I told you where the numbers were from. Here if you are too lazy to google. Beyond Tailpipe Emissions
Don't just look at the vehicle efficiency. That's what EPA MPGe figure is. Look at the bigger picture. Electricity production and distribution is...
Would the 12v lead acid self discharge in 8 months if left disconnected? I don't think so.
40 MPG is no Prius killer.
C-Max and MKZ are 2 MPG lower than Prius v and ES 300h. Fusion hybrid is still 1 MPG higher than Camry hybrid but slower though.
PiP sold very well last month. That's for sure.
They are aiming for 25% weight reduction. Also need to catchup with EGR and EHR. Green Car Congress: Ford introduces Lightweight Concept vehicle...
The current PiP with 12 miles is a perfect balance for the current gen/technology. There are many moving parts going into next gen. NS4 hinted a...
Energi is a bigger heavier car. It makes more inline now. PiP efficiency continue to impress while being the most spacious PHV.
