View 12 RepliesI pulled up to a costco gas pump with "0" miles left to go on the dashboard computer (non-Nav).
I know that manufacturers always leave room for reserve, but I pumped 9.89 gallons to fill up.
According to the specs, the 2011 Prius holds 11.9 gallons.
So where did that other 2 gallons go?

View 14 RepliesIs there a difference between full EV mode and the early HV mode where you are in EV (left half of the indicator on the HSI screen)? Aren't you in full electric in both situations? If so, then why would you need to manually toggle between the two modes?
View 3 RepliesI drive a 2011 Tundra 5.L 4X4 truck. why do I get better gas mileage while driving in the Rockies vs states like OK and TX? I get 2mpg better while driving in the Rockies. 17mpg vs 15mpg. I drive same speed, buy the same 87 octane gas & drive on Interstate highways. And it doesn't matter whether I'm driving to or from. Is the gas quality different in the Rockies vs the south or plains states?
View 19 RepliesI see these 2 terms almost interchanged. I understand they have different functions. Clockspring is power to airbag and control module connects to, in my case, the CAN-BUS that actually sends the signals. Am I correct in my thinking here? I have just about put all the pieces together for my MK6 MFSW retrofit and still wondering if I'll need a new clockspring or not.

Any difference in the f350 frames from 05 to 11? I am particularly interested in the portion under the bed. I am trying to figure out if an oem goose neck hitch would fit back on my 05 if I changed the bed out as well.

View 3 RepliesI'm debating whether to purchase a new 2011 GTI with Xenons/Sun Roof/Nav (no autobahn) or a 2012 with convenience/sunroof (one step under authobahn).
The 11' (xenons, sunroof/nav) is going for 26,500 (and negotiable) and I'm waiting on a price for another 2011 GTI full up Autobahn.
Is it worth going for the 11' if I can get a 12' for 25,900 sans the xenons and Nav? Don't need the leather and don't need the nav but I'd love the xenons at the right price.
I'm not sure if an 11' make sense unless I can get an amazing deal on it, taking depreciation into consideration.
I've got a GIAC flash on my 2008 R32 .
After a year I fitted a VF intake as that was supposed to be the one. I've had just removed it a few months later. (It's for sale in Oz). The only diff I found was the intake noise change, (not too bad) My overall fuel consumption was pretty much the same and a long hill I use to accel hard up always had me at the same speed on a marker.
Not knocking the product but as far as I can see the only gain was intake noise.
I went out and checked my engine oil level when the engine was cold and the oil level was near the bottom of the hash marks. Drove the gti for around 15 min and fully warmed the engine and waited five minutes and rechecked the oil level. to my surprise the oil level was actually higher! it was now at the top of the hash marks. if I added oil when the engine was cold I would've over filled my engine. I always thought it was the other way around with a cold engine all the oil would have drained back to the oil pan and should read higher when cold. Why the oil level reads higher when the engine is at normal operating temperature?

View 9 Repliesi am going to get rims and have never bought tires before for rims.
when i googled images it looks like the 205/50 look thicker than the 205/45. but i couldn't find a good comparison.
the 205/50 is the right size for my 2003 camry, but i want a low profile look. can you see a difference between 205/45 and 205/50?
also does it matter if i get 205 or 215?
I want a 20th AE & have seen pics that say ESP on a button next to the hazard & others say ASR. I know that their was one option for the car: ESP. So what's ASR? Is one better than the other? Is it the same? I've heard that the ESP sucks for autocross. Is this true?
View 8 RepliesI have the option to have a 1.8T passat built for me, or I can buy a VERY clean V6 (has coilovers, but not many other mods, still looks sweet) and I just need some opinions before I decide for sure. (BTW the price will end up being about the same either way). The 1.8T will take about a month longer to get, but has the opportunity to be modded much more.
1. 1.8T or V6? I am interested in hearing about the difference in pickup as well as the overall handling differences with them.
2. On the built passat it will have much more aftermarket parts, how is the stock performance and handling of a stock V6?
Basically got myself into a big pickle with tickets.... as related to keeping my job. I got two serious traffic violations (15+ mph over the limit) that'll count against my CDL.
My question basically comes down to having brand new tires vs. tires that are worn to the bars indicating tread depth is too shallow. Yes, that difference can be enough to determine whether or not I'm under or over 15mph over the limit.
Okay I guess that really wasn't a question .... Is the speedometer calibrated to "new" tire or a "worn" tire?
I drive a '98 Saturn SC1 with the stock steal rims... R14 if I remember right. I basically have two new tires on the front end... One about 1000 miles off the other one.
How important is acceleration in defensive driving? If someone were extremely concerned with safety (because there’s a baby in the car, for instance) would it be worth sacrificing fuel efficiency for the extra power of a V6 engine?
View 19 RepliesI am trying to buy a rebuild kit for a C-6 that I have. They specify between those for 66-76 and 77-93. What is the difference and where can you determine what you have? I know it came out of a pickup, but not sure if it was a 76 or 78-79.
View 14 RepliesThe first time I replaced a battery. It has run flawlessly until now. (Approx 57,000 miles) It is equipped with a push button start. FOB works fine to unlock doors, etc. I depressed the brake pedal and pushed the start button. Instrument panel lit up as normal, but there was no cranking. Nav comes on. Everything "looks" fine, but there is no engine activity.
I tried: I read a post where the person "rocked" the car back and forth several times and it ultimately started. Simple and immediate enough to try. No luck. A jump start. It didn't. Held start button for 30 seconds then attempted to start. No go. Did same with foot on brake.
Inserted FOB into the "smart key holder" inside the center console and attempted to start. Nada - Attempted this because for one brief second during jumping process, panel flashed a message saying FOB not recognized then went away. Car responds to FOB just fine).
Inserted FOB in center console again following the instructions in this post. Didn't work. The brake pedal is solid. I read this is most likely because vacuum pressure did not build when the engine did not run.
