How do you get an alternator to work as a DC motor?

Not around the world, but around English speaking people!

Sorry Mike you feel that way but who started first? I was always nice with
you guys in the beginning. She calls me fraud like someone accusing your
sister/mother of being a prostitute without knowing their backgrounds.

My company hires foreigners, we are not racious, and we're not picky about
little poor English. You guys again and again define good English = sign of
intelligence. Is that wrong!! I learned tehcnologies 20-yrs before my
english. Then she goes on claiming her 1-ton hybrid car safer than my
2-ton car. Why can't I express my view back ? She misleads people, some
people could actually believe her.

I hope you won't find the following statement antagonizing the world:

Why would Honda think that I'd want a hybrid that gets worse gas mileage
then some normal cars? ...

What normal cars get better gas mileage than the Insight? The morons on
that site are trying to compare their own mileage with the Insight's EPA
estimated mileage, and that's an invalid comparison. Further, the Yaris
and the Insight are different classes of cars, further making the
comparison invalid.

Oh, and I'm a Prius owner, and I doubt that I'd ever buy an Insight.

Are you somehoe proud of the fact that people who don't speak English
aren't pissed off by your posts?

I don't know what you're babbling about. I see that you're crossposting
unsolicited commercial material to three newsgroups, including the one
I'm subscribed to. That in itself is already enough to piss people off.
Are you really unaware that spamming does that?

Then I see you insulting hybrid car owners in general, and you're doing
that in alt.autos.toyota.prius, which, you seem too stupid to realize,
is a group specifically about the Toyota Prius, with is [BIG SURPRISE!]
A HYBRID CAR.

All the newsgroups you're posting this crap to are carried on servers
worldwide, so again I'll ask:

Do you think it's good advertising for your business to antagonize
people around the world?

Frankly, I don't think that's in any way relevant. In any language, he's
acting like a jerk here.

I wasn't asking on your behalf. I thought he might speak one of my
languages. If you think his English is bad, you should read my Chinese.
Imagine how I feel knowing 1.3 billion people learned it when they were
children.

You need to get one of the "really good" alternators.

If you go here:

http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/sbs.htm

you can look up EPA and actual user mpg for most cars. Look at 2008
models to get a good population of real owners' fuel economy
experiences. The most efficient cars are:

2008 Model EPA city/hwy/comb. Owner mpg (# owners)
Prius 48/45/46 46.2 (104)
Civic Hybrid 40/45/42 45.7 (49)
Smart For2 33/41/36 38.5 (40)

So what have we learned?

1. The top hybrids both get significantly better mileage than the
teeny tiny Smart car, and way better than any other gas or diesel car
on the market.

2. The top hybrids both beat their EPA overall estimates, by a pretty
big margin in the case of the Honda.

3. GasSaver is a lying sack of shit. No, wait. We already knew that.

Not to mention that the Smart For 2 requires premium gas.
