... I've driven my Prius at freeway speeds without the ICE running. Sure, it was downhill, but the engine was not running. -- It is not who I am underneath,...
Drives me nuts watching all those SUVs (remember, Sport Utility Vehicles) on the freeway. You want to haul your boat around? Buy an SUV. You want to go camping...
Thanks! And Thanks, Bob! From what I have read, just interpreting the touch screen while driving seems like running the Enterprise. I appreciate the ...
The WRs I bought late in 2006 have the numbers. It took me a little while to find them, but they are there. Could be that they didn't always put the numbers...
To my friend in IOWA, I would not be afraid to get a prius based on troubles some people have had with the traction control in the snow. I love my prius, and...
... I had an occasion to rent a GMC Yukon a couple of weeks ago for a weekend trip of a few hundred miles. It wasn't my choice of vehicle. It had the mode...
... Just a clarification. The only control the car has over an individual wheel (the one slipping) is to apply brakes to that wheel. This braking is what is ...
Anyone replaced the stock air filter with a K&N Air Filter? Have heard an extra MPG and a few more horsepower is common with most vehicles. I have always...
Most people only can afford one car. They would buy one that best suit their lifestyle even if it also mean they need to drive a SUV to work everyday. You...
... For those who want to know or fear this looks like a troll or commercial spam, it's not -- I had a conversation with Brian before approving his message....
... Not necessarily. Owning and insuring a large fuel-inefficient vehicle is expensive. I personally know a couple who each own smaller, more fuel-efficient...
I am not sure that is the assumption.... What if they got the vehicle that most well fit their needs for 80 to 95 (or 98) percent of the time? Then for the...

... X Right. I kept my '95 Explorer (value about 4K) to meet these occassional needs. Comparing the Explorer's mileage to my Prius, at $2.67/gallon, I will...
... X So true. How do YOU look in your Prius? :-) MNBill _________________________________________________________________ News, entertainment and everything...
There are definitely no numbers (and no triangles!). I will have to do it the old fashioned way, as you said, and measure. Geesh - talk about dragging out a...
http://www.vfaq.net -> Mods -> Engine -> K&N Air Filter Install Thanks for the link to the newer filter, though, I have updated the VFAQ with the info at the...
... I installed the Nokian WRs on both my 2001 and 2004 Prius back in Oct. 2005 for the 2005-2006 winter season, and took them off in the spring... (Then they...
Yes, and I'm quite excited about it. Getting a Touring Pkg 6 in Seaside Pearl. Trying to get as much information as possible before p/u, though it is a bit...
I plan to replace mine within a week as well. I've found the 2nd generation filter for $38.88 + 5.50 shipping. Amazon was a bit higher @ $47.90 + 9.95...
... Yes, in a 2001 Prius about 50k miles ago. It changed neither fuel economy nor power. It strongly appears that the Prius engine is not 'air-limited', so...
You'll love it. It's odd at first to shift with a knob on the dash, but you'll like it when you get used to it. It performs great, the turning radius makes...
You can shut off the display and drive it like any other car. When the display malfunctioned on my 2004 (a known problem for the 2004), I drove the car without...
... In *all* vehicles. Every K&N filter is the same, only the shape varies. ... No, the best way is to use a good paper filter in the first place. As others...

... I have to say that is one thing that I do NOT enjoy, because the Prius is so finicky at the gas pump. I have to do a little dance of fill stop wait fill...
