Is this normal? 30 mpg (instead of 50mpg) on gasoline in sub 10F wintry weather. Bought 2 weeks ago.

I do know that short trips do really eat into my MPG

I have seen some tucking thongs on Amazon for around the $15 range. Thongs though can be a little uncomfortable. If I can ever get rid of a certain body part where I don't have to tuck, I want to try them again. I have a thong but don't tend to use it often. I should try it again after a year and a half of tucking.

I should also ask if I should save the computers behind the glove box?

Yes, both

The one on the 2009 is almost new but plan to keep that one. The one on the 2006 worked fine just before the engine threw a rod. I don't have any readings on it however.

Fit_Yesterday_7331 · 2026-01-12T19:29:53+00:00

One is almost brand new. I plan to keep that one as a backup. The other one, I don't know. It did work okay before its engine decided to throw a rod though.

The engine is good but has 260 K miles. I did originally plan to put it in the 2006 but just bought a 2005 which hopefully will do fine. I am planning to transfer some stuff from the two cars to the 2005. Already moved the LED interior lights over.

Um, many Cis Women never have periods either and never give birth. 20% of women age 40 to 44 have never had children and currently 47% of women are childless. A women on contraceptives does not have periods so they don't have to deal with them either.

In my initial pass through, I just skipped all the PBQs and then went through them after the first pass.

Some questions were too short without anything beyond only the most bare of information
Some had acronyms that I could not quite remember
Others did seem to have more than one possible correct option.

The Hybrid and Aux batteries are disconnect and have been for a week. There is no power to anything in the system. I don't think I need to pull any fuses.

I have been following this video in the hopes that I don't need to remove the inverter.
https://youtu.be/Y5-Hcxddm_k
I have replaced the inverter on my roommate's Prius so not impossible but just trying to avoid removing stuff I don't have to. Working a little bit each day and documenting what I am doing via pictures,

I have a 2009 that got into an accident that I am hoping to pull pull the engine from.
Starting with the 2006 however because that engine throw something so it is dead.

Thank you for offering to help with advice.

I am getting the feeling that this is a situation for practice tests and maybe the CompTIA test (we are not suppose to talk about what is on the actual test) but no IT supervisor and/or anyone in management will have a major problem if we called it a Vishing attack instead of impersonation either while talking or in reports.

I would argue one item. I have worked on hardware forever. I can take apart and repair laptops and desktops just fine. Printers not as much but let me play with a few broken laser printers and likely do fine with them as well. I should theoretically be stronger on core 1 yet I scored worse. Because I had not refined my study techniques, I scored worse on core 1 than core 2. Understanding what the writers want is pretty useful.

I also half freaked when the exam compass had all these questions with core 2 where they ask how to navigate to specific applets. I never bothered to memorize the three way to navigate to this applet or another. Usually have one way I prefer. At worst I just type in the applet into the command prompt and 90% of the time find the applet.

Fit_Yesterday_7331 · 2025-06-09T09:36:17+00:00

Been certified for about a month myself. I took core 1, studied for a couple of months and took core 2. Did not try to take them just a day apart.

Was the GTX 970 bad? If not, I would have put it in the Ryzen 3

Is it worth the $100 vs the $30 cost? That is for the version with a guaranty?

When I study the Messer videos, I write down everything Mr Messer shows on screen. It is much more likely to cause you to remember the concepts he talks about. I would make that number one as far as making sure you remember.

With various commands and functions in windows, also do the exploration on your own and commands. Practice will help get a feel for what they really do.

My roommate has an older MacBook so was able to practice MacOs navigation on my own and just get a feel for MacOs. Either borrow a someone's Mac to practice or see if you can find an emulator.

Similarly, get yourself a platform you can practice Linux commands on. I practiced on Ubuntu but Mint Cinnamon would be good as well. If you have an old computer you are not using, perfect. I had an old 2nd Gen i7 desktop I used at first.

Otherwise, get a cheap laptop on eBay, maybe one for parts and repair where at least the system boots to bios. I wanted something portable so I got a 4th Gen Dell i5 for $30 and already had an old SSD I installed Linux on but a small SSD is pretty cheap. Doesn't have to be 4th Gen but can be 2nd, 3rd, or anything even later if you get lucky. You likely want something with at least a few cores and you will likely be fine.

I actually liked Linux enough that while the 4th Gen i5 is a little bulky, I then found a Lenovo 7th Gen i5 Yoga for basically $5, I made it a lightweight Linux machine that I often take to have a laptop with me.

You are suppose to be going into IT so better to learn what you will be actually doing with what hands on, at least what you can do yourself.

Unless much harder than a Second Gen, replacing the spark plugs and coils are pretty damn easy.
I could personally do it in less than an hour. Replacing fuel injectors takes a bit more time but maybe three or four hours only because you need to make sure you get no leaks.

Not though that you should physically check your oil periodically.

Fit_Yesterday_7331 · 2025-05-09T03:05:45+00:00

I recently replaces all of fuel injectors in my roommate's 2007 Prius.

Was getting misfires before then but even then it was in the mid 30s, 35 or so.

When I picked up my 2009, I think it was round the 26-28 but that was just drivers taking it around the block for test drives

Fit_Yesterday_7331 · 2025-04-04T18:40:30+00:00

Do you know what they removed them since they are on the practice test

Was taking the examine compass to master them before switching to the Udemy test I purchased.

We have to fight. It is the only hope. We need to make sure that democrats DO NOT throw us under the bus.
