This is just bullshit and irrational SUV bashing. You implied the word SUV poisoned everything. I own both an SUV and a Prius. I am very glad that Toyota is...
Still remember this old Toyota slogan? I got that feeling whenever I zoomed by a traffic jam at 75mph on the car pool lane all by myself. I got that feeling...

I am having my Hydroedges put on at cosco this evening. I was going to request 42/40 pressure as well. I used that same pressure in the OEM tires for 39K...
I got HydroEdge at Costco, also, about 6 weeks ago. They said that they would NOT inflate the tires above the manufacturer's specs (35/33). So, I let them do...
Don't shoot the messenger here. I'm just telling you that a lot of people find a certain amount of hypocracy in the way Toyota has so actively wrapped itself...
... GM didn't do the same thing; they didn't do anything. ... What part of "for the most part" don't you understand? ... Not you, too; you bought a Prius....
Jerry, The situation that Detroit finds itself in is, of course, much more complex than that...the result of many *decades* of operating under a business model...
Maybe if we filled the tires with helium they would float over the road and reduce friction :>) G ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I am one of the proponents of exceeding Toyota's tire inflation spec, limited by the tire's sidewall max inflation. In the interests of equal time, I would...

So everyone knows, I did not have a choice in what they filled the tires with they said they do not fill with air any more only nitrogen. It wasn't until I...
... Pressure is pressure, nitrogen and ordinary air are essentially perfect gasses at tire pressures, they push against the tire and the tire gauge and...

About two months ago I was on a narrow bridge next to a wide hay wagon. Luckily, I was able to swerve just enough that I didn't hit the bridge abuttment and...
I thought one of the great advantages of nitrogen.. was its immunity to temperature differences.. Where as.. regular air.. you have to compensate 1 lb for...

IIRC, the commerical being discussed here shows the Prius and the hybrid SUV head to head in the last shot. Isn't that a more fuel efficient SUV than those...
