    HDD for long term storage. More reliable, has a higher number (essentially infinite assuming the drive never fails) of read/writes before failing. Cheaper and higher capacity than any ssd or m.2. Also if you dont keep applying a small electrical charge to an m.2 they eventually lose the data. HDD doesnt really lose data as easily. Also data recovery is easier with HDD. Finally you know when a HDD is on its way out as it will show slower write speeds and become noisier etc.

    I used to work in a service desk looking after maybe… 4000 desktops and 2000 laptops for a hospital and the amount of ssd and m.2 failures we had was very costly.



  • They sound a lot like an ex colleague of mine who had aspergers. They latched on to me because they got promoted to a different team in the same office as me when i got promoted and they would not stop talking to me, and about the most inane and mundane shit. Stuff i didnt gove a fuck about

    I would be polite i would answer and engage in the conversation but if it had been too long and i felt managers eyes in the back of my head i would just fizzle out and start to turn back to my screen and say something like “ok, well, i need to get on” and they would go away.

    I believe they were this way because of aspergers. They could never tell when i was uninterested or when i was busy with something. They didn’t pick up on social cues. They just kept talking.

    I wonder if it’s a similar reason with your colleague?





    • I have not independently verified the gallon usage of my car.

    That’s you. In your original post.

    You haven’t tested this yourself.

    You explocitly stated i your original post that the combustion engine is not affected by different weather conditions like an electric motor. But now you claim the weather being different is why you have not done the test yourself. But also its because of how far you would have to drive and not actually because of the weather.

    You consistently contradict yourself.

    So no. I am not telling you how you ran your own test

    YOU FUCKING TOLD ME, YOU ABSOLUTE CREATURE!


  • You haven’t said what trim you have… so no… of course, i dont… wow.

    You ha e quoted a combined mpg when we are discussing the fuel only mpg. so that is actually useless…

    And once more… you have not driven this car on pure fuel so you and i are in the exact same position… you owning the car doesnt change that… at all.

    Sheesh. Listen to yourself. Instead of kicking off about stats you dont have and insulting people how about you look at your attitude and your reported stats and consider drawing appropriate conclusions.

    You cant use your own personal tests with electric and toyata testing with fuel and compare them in your conclusion. Those are two separate sources of data.

    Stop ignoring this i have said it so many times.

    It doesnt stop being true because you dont want to acknowledge it…


  • Yes, you are arrogant.

    You admitted to not running the test. Toyota dont claim 48. They claim 52. Unless you have the XSE or XSE premium model and not the SE.

    If you are getting better stats than the manufacturer, then something is wrong with your test because they get those numbers in absolute perfect conditions and with very specific settings in the car, allowing them to maximise the mpg.

    Yes, you are biased. You are reporting higher stats on the fuel and lower stats on the electric than toyota report. And you got and still are super pissy that people are arguing with you about it.

    I understand my position. I dont own the car, so i have done research and looked at toyata reported stats as well as real owners stats and aggregated the results to come to a conclusion. That is more reliable than one persons individual experience. Especially when that one person hasnt done enough fuel only testing (which you stated plain as day) but wants to draw a conclusion from that.

    Do you understand your position here? You haven’t done enough testing and are posting information to help other buyers make a choice about a purchase. It’s not enough data and may be wrong. So you are potentially causing others to make a poor decision on car purchase.

    It absolutely is the fault of your methodology. Your method was to rigorously test the electric but use toyotas claimed stats for fuel. That’s the method you used to test each engine. That’s poor methodology. Using the manufacturers’ stats is closer to hearsay than you might want to admit.

    You also bring up the weather conditions again. IT IS LITERALLY IN YOUR ORIGINAL POST where you say that the combustion engines are not affected by weather conditions. So do the fucking test!

    Frankly, i can contribute as much as you since we both havent tested the fuel only capabilities of thos car. frankly i think you are a little man child who cant take a lick of critisism and would rather resort to insults than accept when you are wrong. Frankly i think you need to stop being aggressive towards me and the other poster and go and drive you car to get some actual stats.


  • You haven’t run fuel tests. That was the whole point of the argument.

    Ok soni saw 30 to 42 you saw 45 to 63

    Lets take an average with the numbers we have.

    30 +42+45+63=180

    180÷4=45

    So 45mpg… less that what you used to calculate your costs.

    Dont tell me to bugger off because i haven’t done tests when you have also done no tests on fuel.

    I know somethi g that will piss you off.

    I drive an electric car.

    It costs me 7p (about 9 cents) per kwh to charge.

    It cost me £11.68 (about $14.89) to charge last month and i get about 3-4 miles per kwh.

    I travelled 487 miles last month from the 1st to the 30th.

    It cost me 2.4 pence (about 3 cents) per mile to drive this car.

    American miles are the same as british miles

    And i pulled the mpg data from american sources so your gallons are the same.

    So despite your findings, my electic car costs less than your hybrid to run.

    But i doubt your data is accurate, so thats fine.
