Re: Which acceleration is better for FE for FEH/MMH?

There is so much non-factual information in this discussion it needs to be corrected.
1. Peak torque is NOT at WOT, peak power is at WOT. Gary, in post 22 of this thread provided a curve that shows...

Re: FEH/MMH "CVT"...

Re: Fuel gauge on FEH inaccurate

My experience is like Ray's in that it seems predictable at fill-up and empty, and unpredictable in between. Right now I am getting around 41 mpg (computed) and when I fill-up, it's estimating a...

Re: The Low Gear Advantage

John:

Like Gary, I don’t understand why you are being stubborn on the “Neutral” issue. Gary has done a good job of laying out the facts again here, as well as before on CleanMPG.

Re: The Low Gear Advantage

Gary has discussed this over at CleanMPG. He seems to have had some success. I do not have a ScanGauge, so to the accuracy of the Nav system, I am not seeing a significant improvement in fuel economy...

Re: 40 mph on EV!

Re: Hybrid/Nav radio on ebay

From what I have heard, if you didn't order the Nav system from the factory, there is a different wiring harness used that goes to the information center instead.

Re: Who's modding their hybrids?

Sorry about the typo, it is, as you say, dt = A6E9. The build date is 11/11/2005 for an '06. My '05 was totalled when someone made an illegal left turn and hit me head-on on a two lane road. Replaced...

Re: Who's modding their hybrids?

Phil and John:
I don't know if this helps, but my display reads dt A6G9 (decimal=42729) and the lower right of the window sticker reads 11/11/05 (build date or ship date?).

Re: Who's modding their hybrids?
