Re: Toyota Denies Battery Woes Delay Prius.

Well, perhaps I read the article wrong, but didn't they say that the new model would be delayed. They kinda hinted at it, but nothing more. And the title even says they are denying it.

Re: Aptera – Electric 3-wheeler available for pre-order.

Sounds pretty sweet, but I'll wait until they are in the hands of consumers before I come to a conclusion on it.

Re: Boston's proposed no speeding pledge program.

That's a great point, and I just happen to have good story about it too. It's actually kind of sad though. I'm traveling down my usual stretch of road when all of a sudden this Gen III Prius, of all...

Re: Why we need big hybrid SUV’s.

I love how they compared how much fuel you save, by the amount in gallons. It's great that they'll save 138 gallons if they drive the hybrid version, but that'll only get them about 3300 miles or so....

Re: Cherokee challenge: Automaker dares drivers to take it 450 miles on only one tank

Might be great for a vehicle that can tow, I really don't know. If you're not towing though, then what the hell is the point. 25 MPG highway is definitely nothing impressive. Now if you got that...

Re: Mainstream media (finally) declare Hummer -vs- Prius Myth "junk science"

How do you manage 70 MPG in your 16 year old Civic? You take hypermiling to the extreme in it?

Re: Mainstream media (finally) declare Hummer -vs- Prius Myth "junk science"

I think what makes it very troubling is the fact of the lifetime of the vehicles. How did they come up with the lifetime of the cars? It can't be the average of the vehicle since the Prius has hardly...

Re: Why Your Car Has Lousy Gas Mileage.

And yet if people learned to drive properly they wouldn't need all those added "safety" features. It's no wonder you need electronic traction control when you try to drive 70+ MPH in the rain, or 80+...

Re: Mazda Develops New Miller-Cycle Engine for Mazda2.

They never mentioned, but are those Jap numbers, or US ones?

and BTW, what is a Miller-cycle engine exactly? Too lazy, and itch too much, to go look it up.

Re: Going green, saving green.

Re: MPG to expect for cost calculations, for car purchase?

I'm not so sure about the HCH or the new Prii, but in my '02 Prius I can eassily get 50+ MPG on the highway going 65 MPH, and I live in a hilly area as well.

I'd say that unless the HCH can at least...

Re: Honda has new fuel cell vehicle.

I'm quite confused though. So they are releasing this "concept car" in Japan for $1.5 million a pop? If they are doing...

Re: A Diesel Honda Accord that gets 62.8 miles per gallon?

Well, from the sound of it it's going to be like the new zero-emission coal power plants, where they just store the CO2 underground. To be honest that's just stupid. What would happen if one of those...
