Some Of The Many Things You Didn't Know About Hybrids

Each manufacturer designs their hybrid cars differently. When Toyota hybrids run out of gas and the propulsion battery starts running low, the car computer will try to restart the gas engine. It will retry after a failed gas engine start. After the third try fails, it will set a fault code which prevents the car from starting at all until a technician resets the code.

Non News About Osama and Clinton

There was some non news today related to non-decision that Clinton could not have made that would not have led to any action that may not have killed Osama who at that time had not done enormous terrorists against US.

I love reading non news. Why can't they have honest headlines clarifying that it's non-news.

Seat Cover Technology

When installing new car seat covers, I noticed they were asymmetrical and specified which side should be near the window with the label "airbag". Is there some design feature in the seat cover construction to specifically make it safe for use with side airbags? Or is it coincidental with the fact that the window side is the user approach side and will get more wear? Is there an ISO standard? I noticed similar airbag tag on a different brand seat cover installed on another car. If I install on an old car without side airbags, that should be safe from any side airbag incompatibility issues with the seat cover, right?

New and old

When 2 city names use the same base origin, one is usually named New Something. Districts are usually unofficially called Old Something and the name eventually sticks from common usage. In Chinese, one American city was unofficially called Old Gold Mountain (舊金山) and eventually became the official Chinese name used in China for this American city. 舊金山 is used in most archived/indexed web content, official documents, and online translator dictionaries. That city is of course San Francisco. Online translators also recognize Francisco to mean San Francisco.

Mpgs on hybrid

I won't complain about the gas mileage I'm getting on PriusC, just a few observations. The car like to idle in the morning, which lowers the mpg. I get better mileage on freeway driving than city driving.
