Thanks to everyone that reported the issue, it has been fixed and now the page will operate normally!  After some rest I will post on what happened and restore the data I have.

To the users that posted on the forums since the 18th your posts have been lost and cannot be recovered.  This forum software is no longer compatible with the content management system and will be removed.  The existing posts will be migrated to the new system.  Or we can have separate logins for the forums.

Please tell me in the comments if you'd rather have an integrated forum or if it's OK to have two separate usernames and passwords?

Voice Commands article updated! Print E-mail
Written by Kacey Green   
Friday, 17 August 2007

I have finished writing up the list of all the voice commands that I know, for the Toyota Voice Activated Navigation systems. Not all commands work on every vehicle, this article covers Toyota, Lexus and Scion, vehicles equipped with voice activation but it will also work on some GM voice navigation systems. 

You can find the updated article in the knowledge base.

Just another quick update today:

I parked nose out at Target today; when I returned to the Prius, there was a red Honda Accord hybrid (HAH) parked behind me.  I mention this because I have seen so few HAHs in the wild.  I will explain why I park the way I do in a future article.  I have also found the taller hills here in Columbia make it much easier to achieve and maintain high fuel economy numbers than the really sort height, long length hills in Gainesville.  Today I tried out a new procedure when it comes to the first five minutes of operation after reading a post on Prius Online.  When I tried the technique yesterday, I was less than thrilled, so I modified it a bit and the results were impressive, even though I climbed a monster set of hills during the warm-up.

I also want  to point out that I am not happy with the service I have received while on the SunCom network, there were two incidents in less than a week.  First, they would not let me dial 1800-GOOG-411, and today they did not let me connect to the internet from my T-Mobile Wing to check my bank balance.  I got the message "connection refused by the remote party" without the Edge/GSM connection never being established, for any site I tried.  Although when I roam onto the AT&T network, they provide the level of service that T-Mobile has trained me to expect.
That is all I have for now.

Thanks for your patience wile I work on getting feeds to an acceptable level of functionality.

Gainesville, FL to Columbia, SC half-tank! Print E-mail
Written by Kacey Green   
Saturday, 11 August 2007
Just a quick update:

Today I took Waldo and GA-21 to get to Columbia, South Carolina from Gainesville, Florida and only used half a tank of gas in my 2004 Toyota Prius! I forgot that I told the navigation system to take a different route. After I crossed the Florida-Georgia border, I started going with the flow speed wise (75 miles an hour isn't enough to satisfy people anymore), and let cruise control take over the accelerator; that was a big mistake, the darned cruise control (CC) program doesn't understand that hills aren't infinitely tall.  Before CC took over, I had managed 58 miles per gallon from Depot Road to the FL-GA border, a route comprised of city, highway, Waldo (speed trap), and interstate driving.  Today's shout outs are after the jump ...

Click image to open!

On the drive back to Gainesville, FL, from Columbia, SC, once again, I used less than one tank of gas.  When I rolled back onto the farm, the gas gauge read three pips.  I exceeded both the old and new EPA ratings for the vehicle at 55.2MPG averaged over 462 miles.  By looking at the distance travelled, you can also see I took a couple of wrong turns, more on that later in this write-up.  Normally in these types of articles I give shout outs to all the hybrids I encountered but this drive was really draining and I knew from the first sighting I would not remember them all.  No I could not write them down, I was driving, though next time I may keep a scratch pad and write down a letter code and tally them up (ex. HAH, HCH P, CP, RX, Cam, HH, etc. [Honda Accord Hybrid, Honda Civic Hybrid, Prius,  Classic Prius, rx400h, Camry hybrid, Highlander Hybrid])
