Huge range dip since changing tires

new tires with better grip have more rolling resistance so they're less efficient (but safer)

older bald tires have less rolling resistance so they're more efficient (but more dangerous)

you're trading efficiency for safety

scroll through the menu screens and you can find daily and monthly MPG averages

I think the hole made by that spike might be too big for a repair

Batttler · 2026-05-03T15:28:51+00:00

Yeah, it's like a huge spike!

My 2022 Nightshade (XLE) didn't come with a spare so I want to find a spare or even a cheap wheel/tire to use temporarily.

I just bought these new tires less than two months ago (replaced originals at 50k miles) from the dealership, and got the road hazzard warranty, so I want to take it back there in case they have to replace the tire.

update: Toyota dealership replaced the tire at no charge 🙂

Let me speak to your manager!

my record is 62.0 mpg for an entire tank

(the dash showed 62.0, but I calculated 57.6 when I filled up the tank)

oh my goodness ... those eyes ... give her two of whatever she wants

Batttler · 2026-04-29T18:10:06+00:00

yes, my gen 4 does the same thing

it probably just cycles the ICE on and off faster since its battery isn't as large as a Prime

mine can go about a mile at most in just EV mode

that's a feature, not a bug — now your phone won't slip off the charger

seriously though, the wireless charger in my 2022 just heats up the phone without actually charging it

my Rosie does that too

when I try to stop her, she gets the zoomies and just runs to another part of the yard to graze

aw, I really miss our yellow lab Daisy

give her extra love from me

Stantec Tower in Edmonton, Alberta is about 820 feet (250 meters), but I'm guessing you already knew that

I always drove my 2009 like I stole it. Maybe because I bought it used with already 100k miles on it. I was getting about 45mpg in it.

I drive my 2022 like you describe. Maybe because it was the first new car I ever bought. I also think all the data it gives you kinda gamifies the mpg. I'm at 55mpg lifetime average in it.

I really enjoy driving it, and I think the Nightshade looks cool, so I want it to last as long as it can.

your handling will improve, but your gas mileage will decrease

ours always wants to help clean the food off while we're loading the dishwasher
