What about buying large amounts of synthetic oil (sale, bulk, however) and storing for long periods. I hear organic oil has a limited shelf life, does the...
And you can't beat the timing! Right now, everybody is worried about their job or pension. "Lets raise gas prices and put more money in our pockets" will cause...
First and formost, lets reduce what we can now! How about a 10% reduction of use simply by cleaning out the trunks, no more jackrabbit starts, staying on the...
Before I got my Prius, I was looking at Toyota's hybrid minivan on Toyota.JP (Translations were not always available) and they had some of the gains in the new...
... As always: It depends on the dealer. Not all of them do additional markups. It also depends on the market, as the 2010 Prius isn't flying out of dealer...
Ages ago, our very own Lady Dianne Whitmire shared images of the Toyota Estima hybrid minivan. I stuck them up on a website so list members could check them...
... My 01 Prius suggests an oil change @ 7500 miles for normal conditions. I have mainly used Mobil 1 0W30 and change oil between 7500 and 10,000 miles. Now...
How many of you here in our droup have bought these filters from "Spidy"? Do you like them? Do they work well in the 2004-09 Prius? What is your real name...

I don't know either but now I only stutter when I read but not when I write. See example below my message. <g> I think I'm getting too much EMF radiation from...
I changed the subject line to reflect these messages / this topic better. Hi Betty, (and others) Glad you also love your 2003 as much as well. :-) We almost...
Yes exactly! I love the Prius exactly because it automatically shuts down it's ICE completely when ever possible. I always outright LAUGH at those who must...
Okay great! Glad to hear it. I'd like to hear from a few others of the many he sold them to as well, and how they're working for you if ya don't mind. :-) ...
Am I "special" or is this the groups experience can I get a reply on brake life. I have 91,000 miles and still on original brakes. Dealer supposedly checks...
The Prius tends to slow the car more by generating electricity than by grinding metal together(with brakes). Therefore, the brakes tend to last a lot longer....
Mine still had a bit of life left at 140,000. I do try to use the regenerative braking as much as possible, so your experience may be different. Chuck...
