I have searched the owner's manual for the 2007 Prius and can't find a way
to silence the backup beeping.  My 2004 Prius allowed you to do this.  Does
anyone know how to disable this pretty much useless feature?

I've been experiencing a problem with the reception on the AM radio on
my 2004 Prius.  The car has the premium sound system.  It sucks to not
be able to hear the Red Sox games on the radio, when I'm only about 15
miles north of Boston as the crow flies.  Anyone else having trouble

Several days ago Toyota announced that they are developing plug-in
hybrids.  These are hybrids with larger battery packs.  They're
designed to be plugged into a socket and charged at night, then you can
drive up to, perhaps, 8 or 10 miles on battery power alone before the

I purchased a 2004 Prius in late 2004.  It was delivered
around End of Dec. The car never has any major problem.
After reaching 5000 miles, I averaged 60 mpg for about 3
weeks.  The rate went down to 58, then 53 when I got tired

I just passed the 3000 mile mark with my new 2006 Prius.  Best record so far
for my 52-mile commute to work is 59.5 mpg.  About three times the mpg I was

Well, my wife has had her Prius (2006 package #4 Seaside Pearl) for
just about 3 months now.  Since she got it, our 2005 Avalon Limited has
just sat in the garage except for the 12-mile round-trip to work on
weekdays.  Anytime we go anywhere together, we take the Prius.  So,

My wife and I like the keyless entry to the Prius. Now we want a
similar lock on our front door. We do want want to take the key out,
push a button or use a card. We just want to be in the proximity of the
front door and touch the door knob.

Everyone in the Prius community who reads this newsgroup or any of the
mailing lists and web forums knows about increasing your tire pressure
to increase mileage.  Hell, I'd heard about and been doing that for
years on my previous cars, too, just not to as high a degree as now.

Gasoline is down to $2.78 and there's a corresponding 20 cent a gallon drop
right across the border in CT.
This REALLY is a good time to buy the Prius you want.  This drop in prices
is a good diversion. I bet the crowds are back looking at Hummers ;)

There's a growing rumor that the last Engine Control Unit program update
has caused the engine to operate more frequently, thus lowering the
miles per gallon.  I thought I had lost some miles per gallon to the hot
weather until I heard this.  Anyone have any support for this?
