Yup, it still wastes 80% of the energy in the tank and pollutes like hell.

Perhaps... still better than a prius though, by quite a margin.

I doubt even dribble's boss would expect him to deliver pizzas that far.

How much 'energy in the tank' does a Prius waste?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember The Natural Philosopher saying something like:
If you take the head off a water-injected engine you will be pleasantly surprised at how clean the combustion chamber is, with all that steam cleaning going on. :)
Still a difference I can feel, even now, with ECU-controlled fuelling.

*All* of it. There can be no possible useful reason for a prius driver to go anywhere.

I don't know, if our one were to go somewhere, he might not be sat at home in his slippers posting crap to usenet. It would give us all a break. Where can we tell him to go?

Cold air is denser so you get more into the engine. That's why the engine air intake is usually situated in the coldest part of the air stream hitting the car.

In one case, it's just behind the front bumper.

More than one.
We don't do that sort of thing very often here, luckily.

Today the heavy, low-powered, narrow tyred milk float was one of the few vehicles running normally. I didn't try it (though since it hasn't snowed any more since breakfast I'd have been fine; it was the _promise_ of more snow than my ground clearance that put me off)

if you want to make it as quick as a petrol, agricultural noises went out years ago - except with tractors! My 535D is almost identical in speed to my old petrol one, except it has better low down grunt.
