I hit the road in search of clear skies too. I was only able to find less clouds before it started getting dark. I ended up stopping on the side of the road between Pulaski and Sandy Creek, NY. I got...

https://www.car-part.com/index.htm seems to list a few. There might be other junkyard directories as well, but this is the one I'm familiar with.

I recently put a hitch on my neighbors' 2017 Prime. Same hitch fits all 4th gen Prius models. It mounts between the body and bumper beam.

I kinda forgot about this thread. My neighbors bought a 2017 Prime. Nice, but too fancy for me! And I'm currently pet/house sitting for someone with a 2018 Prime. It's in the driveway, but I wasn't...

Echo is good. Early Scion xA and xB with the same 1.5L engine are good too. Yaris should be just as good, but newer.

Mitsubishi Mirage?

Which Honda? The 1st gen Insight had aluminum front calipers, and aluminum rear drums with a steel liner. Nothing special about the rotors.

I've been missing your tests! I have a set of RE92 tires for my Insight, but out of laziness, I'm using 185/70-14s on steel wheels. They were cheap and local! Still good for 60 MPG without trying,...

Is a $300 Honda Insight and some land an option? :D

I paid $550 total for all of the cars in my signature! Basket cases are still (sometimes) cheap or free!

If the tank isn't leaking, I would try cleaning it out. If you really need one, RockAuto has them. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=17491&cc=1430188&pt=6268&jsn=22952

You could use the existing HVAC blower, unless your "2x high-static-pressure 120mm 12v PWM fans from Noctua" are more efficient. Like most (all?) cars, the Insight has cabin air exit vents in the...

I don't think heat will be an issue. The heat will be spread over the whole sidewall, and aluminum transfers heat well, so the contact point on the aluminum shouldn't get really hot either. Also,...

I wish I had known about throttle stop testing back then! But if I was building it again without testing, I would probably do it the same way.

I never really tested it, but I did see better MPG on highway trips. Too many variables to claim (or even remember) the improvement.

The article doesn't say that. It says it does better with the trailer at 55 MPH than the EPA numbers. Which isn't a useful comparison. They should've done the same drive on the same day without the...
