Separate names with a comma.
Nope, I'm with you. (Whew, glad you won't smite me! :)) It seems the Prius ICE actually is rather efficient over a fairly wide range of RPM, as...
Excellent post, though it suffers from what I believe to be, well, a fallacy. ;) And that is that the true troll -- as opposed to a skeptic --...
I mostly agree with Evan. Where I disagree is with the suggestion that <1700 RPM is inefficient. Though the theoretical power curves for the...
I think you're right on target, especially if the AC is on. In the thread I linked above, in addition to the spontaneously aborted glides, I...
I agree it's not easy. But it's doable with practice, patience, and additional instrumentation. I'm still refining my technique after almost...
I'm not sure high battery temperature is an absolute "EV deny" criterion. Last summer I made a trip to the mountains of VA with a passenger...
To add a bit to Mark's response: The light is on a "timer" of sorts, based on mileage since the last reset. At 4500 miles since the last reset it...
You're fine unless you overfilled to the point of gas spewing out, it saturated the charcoal canister, and the car threw a diagnostic trouble...
Just curious, Nemrut: Why post again after you got your answer?
Not sure how, but I missed the typo first time around. :rolleyes: Not always. At speeds below 20 MPH the ICE doesn't spin and the slowing effect...
I often do the same thing. It makes it easy to control deceleration with just one pedal. My problem is sometimes forgetting to put it back in D...
Dan, Nate hasn't been around for over a year and a half (unless he's lurking).
Wear out the car from driving conservatively?? You don't have to worry. Drawbacks: taking more time to reach your destination (not a problem for...
It depends on what you want, or what you mean by "best." Fuel economy? Handling (wet and dry)? Tread life? Noise? Ride comfort? There are...
Things are well. Not married yet; we're in no hurry. As for the Gen III's fuel economy capabilities, ordinary drivers seem to be getting the...
It doesn't look like his legs are any prettier since #30 or so. :D (Wayne, what was mine, anyway?)
Hey, stranger, where ya been?? Good to hear from you again. I don't do much steady state driving these days, though that's in large part due to...
Occasionally in some of the resuscitation courses I teach I have a brand new (or soon to be) MD or DO as a student. I make it a point of calling...
Yes, I should emphasize that everything I've said refers to the Gen II. Though I would think the same concepts (e.g., efficiency of gentle...
That much I know. I was thinking more of the interaction of all the drive system components.
