Re: Dallas to enforce five-minute idling restriction beginning April 1

I agree it is a good step as well. The optimist in me keeps hoping for the next
improvement. :) And of course, enforcement!

Massachusetts has an idle reduction law which I believe applies to all...

Re: Dallas to enforce five-minute idling restriction beginning April 1

No idle time restrictions on light vehicles? Too bad... much less than 5 minutes
for light vehicles would be good.

Re: DashGate Sends Tremors Through the Hypermiling community

I think so, too. That aside, what are the best lmpg out there? Imagine
being a perfect hypermiler right off the new car lot. It doesn't take much
to kill a good running average, e.g. a visit to...

Re: Is my Scan Gauge broken?

Definitely acting like a stuck upper right button... I don't see that it's easily
user correctable so I second Wayne's suggestion.

Re: hybrid minivan?

Didn't we already see that on one of the first Jerk of the Day posts? :)

I saw an older MPV today. It looked tiny compared to today's minivans.
I don't imagine those had very good mileage. I...

Re: The great hybrid advantage: Is Toyota unstoppable?

Donee, thanks for that link to the TRW origins of the power split device. Good
reading. I had heard that the invention itself predated Aisin by a long period of time.
Hmmm, which domestic automaker...

Re: Earth Hour – 1 hour of your life for the future of the planet

The absolute silence was fantastic, too. I was thankful when our Cocker Spaniel

Re: hybrid minivan?

You may have to hope for a diesel people/cargo mover. I think minivans have
lost a lot of popularity to cross-over utilities. Still, if you believe Toyota's statement
that their entire portfolio...

Re: The great hybrid advantage: Is Toyota unstoppable?

Toyota deserves a lot of credit, but Ford and Volvo do too. I have it on good
authority that the FEH/MMH drivetrain was developed off common ancestry
to Toyota's. It was Aisin's original design. ...

Re: Earth Hour – 1 hour of your life for the future of the planet

I got home late. I shut the whole house down from 8:11-9:11. No sweat.
My wife read by candlelight and I just sat still. The house temperature only
dropped by a degree. It was 24F out.

Hope...

Re: County says 'no' to buying hybrid car

I remember the Dodge Ram (I think) on "Walker, Texas Ranger." Oh wait,
that's TV, not reality. ;) It probably takes trucks to stop trucks. Crown Vics

Re: Jerk of the Day for March 30, 2008

Looks like you'll easily fill all JotD slots for the rest of the year
the way things are going. :D

idea: JotD calendar to raise money; better yet, high FE cars calendar to raise money.

Re: New S1 Veto Prius II technique

I think bestmapman's test has the right base conditions to check the theories.
There was not warm engine coolant in the thermos bottle (well, unlikely to be
warm after 2 days).

So, all fun aside,...

Re: Upsizing Trend?

Hi Brian,

Being familiar with the Yaris, would you say the 1.5L engine is more
than sufficient? Would a smaller engine still do the job, or would further
weight and size reductions be necessary? ...

of other makes as well. I'm only singling out Toyota...
