I used to do that with my 2004 prius. I was inspecting on a construction site and I would keep the car on accessory mode for hours listening to the radio....
... A-A-A-H! They're joining up in a gigantic network, like... the War of the Worlds! I think I just bought one. The dealer called again and said that this was...
(NAPSI)-In light of tougher federal fuel economy and emissions standards, automotive engineers have found what may be a surprising way to wring an extra mile...
... Man, I hope so. My main impetus was getting back under warranty, because Prius repairs can be surprisingly costly. If I wasn't under warranty with the two...
Greetings, I have a possible twist on the overfilled gas tank problem (bladder, carbon filter, etc). The knothead at my recent fillup left the gas pump running...
Keep driving, give it at least 350 miles and see what happens. gggGary from Wisconsin Greetings, I have a possible twist on the overfilled gas tank problem ...
... I had much the same situation on my lat-but-one fill-up. Just keep driving. I, too, was surprised at how far it went before the first bar on the gas gauge...
Thanks to both of you. I was going to let it go to around 300 miles before refilling. I will not go to that Sunoco station again; I will fill it myself from...
Be happy - you may get over 600 miles off this one tank!!!! The fuller your tank is, the longer it takes for that first bar to dissappear - its not broken....
... In Ready mode, the car would keep the 12V battery charged, and would even keep the traction battery charged (by running the engine occasionally). I don't...
My wife is a little concerned that if we jump on the 2010, we will be sorry when the plug-in Prius arrives in 2011 or 2012. Anyone know the inside scoop on...
... I'm inclined to agree with your wife, but I would welcome a chance to drive over from St. Pete to drive your 2010, should her opinion not prevail....
Just explain to me again why paying a car's electric bills for electricity that is produced using oil as much as anything else is better than the current...
... What about electricity produced by water power or wind power? What about electricity that's produced by petroleum at lower usage rates than what...
The cost per mile using electricity out of the wall, is much less than the cost per mile running the car on gasoline. So any energy that you can take off the...
... * Michelle: Good idea! But call you local electric power provider and ask them about after- hours power costs. You might be surprised. First of all, it...
... * Alan: Greetings! Would you provide us with some data -- what is the comparative cost per mile of running a car on gasoline versus on electric power? ...
... There was a student here at the state science & engineering fair who did this as his project. He came out with a gasoline equivalent of 17mpg for the GEM...
Even if the electricity comes from an oil fed powerplant, there is an efficiency of scale in large plants. Even though more efficient than most cars, the...
There are also a few out here who produce a major part of their own electricity. We do this along with the time-of-use metering spoken of below, along with a...
