Well KCT figured out where to put the XM satellite radio in the Hybrid so we are back in business with no commercials. Yippee! I get to listen to CNBC in the morning again. Have...
Now I haven't confirmed that we don't have this feature but boy would I like to know the average miles per gallon per trip we take. Certainly we can reset every time we take a trip...
Well I finally got my turn at driving the Hybrid for a couple days. It is definitely a different feel than the Acura TL. The drive has a much softer feel but one thing I notice I
So I got to record a podcast in the Hybrid with my 8-year old son, Tyler late last week. We cover a bunch of topics and he tells us what he likes best about the Hybrid. He's not paying...
We've had the Hybrid for 30 days now and we've saved $183.53 in gas costs in that time. This is based on our old vehicle and reflects the changing gas prices, of course. Overall, we've...
Holy cow, I completely forgot to point out last week's podcast in the Hybrid! I'm uploading another one right now, so I'll let you catch up from last week and then post up the new one...
We took the Hybrid down to Dover, Delaware on Sunday for the MBNA RacePoints 400. Oh, what a joy it was to sit in traffic and not use gas! The 110 mile one-way trip usually takes us...
We had a little less than a quarter of a tank on Tuesday, so I stopped in to fill up. Prices of regular gas have dropped about twenty-five cents per gallon in the past ten days; hopefully...
While driving home yesterday, we did our CommuteCast where we described the display of the Hybrid Synergy Drive usage. Traffic wasn't so bad and I had our digital camera, so I took...
In episode 33 of our CommuteCast, we spend a few follow up minutes discussing how much the battery was used during my one hour commute the other day. There's a bunch of other non-hybrid...
Yesterday, I was driving in to work with the Hybrid and traffic was awful. I don't just mean there were occasional delays, it was painfully slow at least 75% of the way. Normally, I...
We're working on creating a simple spreadsheet of our gas costs with the Hybrid. Here's a partial screen shot:Once we get a few tanks under our belt and work out any kinks with the
Our next "CommuteCast" from the Hybrid is available. If you want to hear the pleasantly annoying Navigation system, we run it through most of the show. I say "most of the show" because...
I milked that first tank for all it was worth, partially because the vehicle cost so darn much and partially because the dealership provided the Hybrid with a full tank of gas upon
I don't mean from a technical standpoint, I mean from a marketing standpoint. According to the New York Times, a Toyota spokesman says:"We are not marketing them only as highly fuel-efficient...
I'm sure it will, but the question is: how much? What got me thinking about this was a cool morning yesterday. It was 52-degrees when I left for work in the Hybrid and I noticed that...
Well we used the Navigation System the other day to my grandparents house. We plugged in their home address and the path was set. Inputting the destination address is very simple
With a little room to spare, I went from 29.1 mpg this morning to 30.2 today! Yes, I am driving very conservatively, but my driving today consisted of:- Ride to WaWa for coffee (GottaHavaWawa!)-...
That's the question that is answered by Warren Brown of the Washington Post. Warren basically says "No" because the fuel efficiency wasn't as good as promised and the extra seven grand...
This picture says it all. I snapped it this morning before work when our gas tank was roughly reading about one-third of the fuel used:You can see that on our first "trip", we're averaging...
We'll cover the CVT or Continuously Variable Transmission in a future post, but I can provide some observations on it; especially on how it helps the Cruise Control feature. If I had...
CNET has nifty little on-line calculator to illustrate how much you can save in gas money for various hybrids. You need to know either the current city or highway gas mileage of your...
Barb and I record a podcast on our way to work, which we call the "CommuteCast". A podccast is an audio recording saved in a digital format, such as .mp3. If you want to hear our first...
Back on June 27th, the United States government paved the way for a $2,000 tax deduction on Toyota Highlander Hybrid purchases. This incentive passes along a year-end savings to anyone...
Yes, we spelled "Highlander" wrong, but we did this for two reasons:1. Toyota obviously has all of the relevant "Highlander" domains on the web.2. We think Toyota should have called...
