where is krousdb?
 

Hey Dan! Drop in and say hi, will ya?

He's got a new job, too big time for us now, :)

he's still reading... I think he was on the other day.... just wish he'd chime in every so often :)

Let this be a lesson to anyone whose new job dramatically increases his/her commute times - no more time to play on the interweb. ;)

Time for in-car access, Dan??

Man Matt, I was on a mission to post this thread when I got in this morning - you beat me to it!

:mad: i can see how a new job can cut my posts on here a ton. i dont have time at all some days when i have to work long long hour days

Where does the time go? Is it June already? As noted earlier, I just don't have as much time to drop by. Nor do I have anything exciting to report on the hypermiling front. At 700 miles per week it is a challenge to balance FE (58ish) with having time to spend with the family.

So I am racking up the miles on the Prius. Over 93k so far with no issues. Just change the oil and buy new tires every once in awhile. I plan to replace the Prius in 2009-2010 with the most interesting car that Toyota or honda can come up with. Hopefully something that will run on biodiesel. I expect to have 180k on the Prius by then. I wonder what the trade-in value will be?

Glad to hear you're doing well Dan.

A voice from the distant past! Glad to hear you're alive and kicking.

Sell one of us the prius when the time comes? Honda is planning a new family hybrid...and both will have diesels coming out, you should have some good choices.

Keep up the good times.

I read that Honda plans on releasing their new hybrid in 2009 to replace the discontinued Insight. Supposed to be small, and still a four door. Should be exciting :)

Oh, and it's supposed to be cheap too.

Glad to have you back, albeit for an instant :)

I heard that the new Honda hybrid would be the Fit with the old insight drivetrain. That would be interesting but it doesn't represent an advance in technology IMO. The next gen Prius won't be available until 2009 or 2010. The details are sketchy, nothing firm to look forward to. I still have no details about diesels. An aerodynamic non-hybrid diesel would be fine with me.

I actually read somewhere that this Fit/Insight hybrid hybrid (hehe) is just a rumor. Supposedly it's going to be an all new design.

Yeah, I heard the fit rumor was nothing more, and the new hybrid will be all new. This is what the annual environmental report says, at least.
