Is that a keyless entry smart key fob? If it is, and it works, then I'll take it.
I think the ultimate EV-1 killer, regardless of any politics around it, were battery life and cold weather performance. If I drove the EV-1 to...
Sorry for the confusion there; the Prius minimum AKI is 87 at sea level; I'm from Colorado where the higher altitude & thinner air means 85 AKI is...
You're comparing apples & oranges. Gallons is a measure of volume, nothing else. The change is in miles per gallon of fuel, not of gasoline. Your...
This is true of every vehicle. Octane is defined by the fuel's resistance to ignition under pressure. This has no effect on the energy released by...
Ethanol is a high octane additive. You can try moving up to a higher octane, and there's a good chance they got it there by adding more ethanol....
Oh, and another factor that could affect mileage would be the wheel weight, and weight distribution. Thanks to rotational velocity, weight in the...
I would hope that you are not losing traction so frequently that friction has a measurable impact in your fuel consumption! As long as you aren't...
It looks to me like this system is done "right" so the development cost had to be pretty substantial. I wouldn't be surprised if parts were less...
In my Prius II, I just soldered spare Molex power connector onto the console light circuit board, and hooked both the auto dimmer and the home...
He's using a Nikon D3. It's got a huge monster CCD (2.5 times bigger than my XTi) with a comparatively low resolution, so it's getting ridiculous...
The Prius wasn't designed with the goal of great gas mileage for hypermilers; it was designed for good gas mileage for normal drivers while still...
One of the proposed prices for the Volt was (is?) $42,000. Toyota makes comments saying the Plug-in Prius will be under $42,000 as a way of saying...
Aside from the cost of the LEDs themselves, brighter LEDs will produce considerably more heat, increasing the cost & complexity of the heatsinks.
They do get to cheat though- I don't see any side mirrors on that thing.
Peak of 30 amps, apparently. Prius Startup Current
Yeah, I was assuming 11000mAH cells. 2500mAH "D"s would not do as well. If you really wanted to do this regularly for some crazy reason, your...
NiMH rechargeables could probably handle the current, though you would need more of them to compensate for the lower voltage. Alkaline batteries...
From what I've read, I'd expect it to be closer to 35 than to 40.
And if you have a 40-mile electric range, 35 miles worth of battery are dead weight for my daily commute.
