Available now: Haynes Manual for the Toyota Prius {Autoblog Green}
Jun 2nd 2008 4:54PM My Prius gets 54mpg. I suppose this is "marginally" better than the 30mpg I got from my similar-size, previous car (a Corolla).
Chris, you either need to learn counting or just get a grip on the real world.
Diesels set market share record in UK {Autoblog Green}
May 13th 2008 2:03PM Diesel fuel is quickly becoming more and more expensive here in Europe. It will soon negate the economical advantage of the diesel engine over the gas engine (fuel economy).
I don't mind this because diesel cars are extremely polluting since particulate filters are not mandatory (so noone buys them with their cars) and this has SEVERE effect on the air quality of EU cities (central EU especially).
In its current state, diesel is a plague, and not something I would welcome. I hope EU leaders start working for their money an put tough controls into effect for curbing diesel emissions.

Apr 26th 2008 3:29PM Toyota is keeping its cards to its chest regarding the new Prius. The only thing we can know that it will come out in 2009.
Toyota Prius is a gas guzzler compared to the BMW 520d {Autoblog Green}
Mar 19th 2008 4:09PM This article is nonsense. I don't know how they managedmpg with the Prius but most of its regular drivers get over 50.
I bet that the 520d doesn't have particulate filter and was driven ultra light footed and at 100 km/hrs on the freeway.

Jan 18th 2008 12:01PM Isn't this venture capital firm the one which is behind EESTOR?
Would make a lot of sense if they knew for sure that the EESTOR battery will be ready in, say, a year.
Toshiba's new SCiB battery charges in 5 minutes, releases March 2008 for electric vehicles {Autoblog Green}
Dec 13th 2007 3:25PM It is interesting that Toshiba and Toyota are in the same keiretsu (Japanese business group) but Toyota seems to be working with Panasonic on the lithium based battery for the new generation Prius. This battery would be quite ideal for the 2008 Prius and maybe for the plug-in Prius Toyota is working on.
