Re: Beating the EPA - The Why’s and How to Hypermile
Thanks from a newbie for this article and this site in general. One question:
Does the "Prius II SHM" method still apply to the 2010 Prius (3rd Gen)? And if so, are we still shooting for the same numbers on the scangauge?
Thanks,
EZ

Re: Beating the EPA - The Why’s and How to Hypermile
Hi Ezanker:
Good question and hopefully the following will answer your questions succinctly 
2010 Prius-III_P&G,_SHM and_WS_FE techniques rehashed, defined and refined
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Delond2, I cannot wait to drive the 2011 Ford Explorer with the 2.0L EcoBoost myself as I suspect it may be a real winner vs. the std. 3.5L.
Good Luck
Wayne

Re: Beating the EPA - The Whys and How to Hypermile
XCEL....
My wife is working half time, so she can be mom as much as possible on the side. I can have the small car to commute but she will need the kiddo mover. My wife is a big Ford Explorer fan and she is liking the 2011 explorers so far. It would probably be about 3-4 yrs before she would get a new car/suv, but if reliability holds up, I would push for the explorer to have the 4-cylinder turbo (1/2 the size of the 4.0L V6, power is better, better efficiency).

Re: Beating the EPA - The Whys and How to Hypermile
How about some more articles on hypermiling with a TDI?
