I'm traveling on business at the moment so I'm away from my Prius, but the size of the new tires was identical to the original tires provided by Toyota (best I...
Hi Paul, I take it from your response that the Prius factory tires are LRR (low rolling resistance) and that LRR can have significant impact (say 5 MPG) on...
Those short trips are mileage killers. With nothing but three mile trips, I can see you would have pretty low mileage. Your car would never get warmed up....

Good grief. I'd have not made it to work in 20 minutes if I spent 15 minutes in the driveway... Unless -- 21 miles in 5 minutes works out to -> 252 miles per...
Cpt.Denny, you should be ashamed of yourself. Everyone knows global warming is real. Al Gore wrote a book and made a movie about it. Gotta be true. After all,...

What tells you it took 21 minutes to warm up? Even with temps in the 30s it never takes more than about 2 minutes for our 2006 to warm up when we let it warm...
Scott, I disagree with part of what you have said. It may not be REQUIRED to warm up while parked, but if our Prius is allowed to warm up while parked it takes...

Thanks Jeff. It seems we are like-minded in the tire area. I would love to get Coopers, but the Michelin MXVs were already at the top of my list. How was your...
