Ive read the Prius uses the same gas engine the ECHO does, only the valve timing is modified. Replies to this message: nippononly (Aug 07, 2007 1:04 pm)

Replying to: kneisl1 (Aug 07, 2007 4:27 am) The Prius 1.5 is the same block, but it runs on the Atkinson cycle (all "regular" engines including the Echo's run on the Otto cycle). There is a change in the way the valves operate - they don't fully close or something like that. This results in lower compression (and therefore less power) and gas savings.

Id like to get one of those in my ECHO. I wonder if its necessary.

Replying to: mopar71 (Aug 07, 2007 9:21 pm) My Echo has a 12.4 gallon tank. Don't know about others' cars.   Tonight's fill: 398 miles, 9.1 gallons, comes to 43.7 by my calculations. I am going to call that one 44!

234 miles in three weeks of driving took 5.5 gallons. Thats 42.5 mpg. On the nose no upward rounding! This was all in town driving, speed never exceeded 45 mph. Trip lenth never over 6 miles. Frequent runs to the store a mile away. Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it, Prius! BTW I filled up for $2.51 a gallon!

Replying to: kneisl1 (Aug 08, 2007 6:19 am) My gas last night was $3.09/gallon, which is the lowest I have paid in a loooooong time.   And for the semi-official running mileage computation, my fill last night gets recorded as 43.5. The 44 was just for celebration!

You have the potential to put hundreds of thousands of miles on your ECHO. I did that with Beetles back in the 70s. But my ECHO will be 16 years old before it sees 100k miles. Ar least at the rate its going.

will see 100K miles before the six-year mark, at the rate it's going.
