Check out http://greenhybrid.com/discuss/index.php?download=85 and tell me what you think, real or fake? If fake where/how?
If you say so, you are the mod. The point (to me) was to see if people could tell the difference. It had earlier been discussed and some thought they could spot a fake by zooming in.I do not see the point in trying to figure out if a picture is real or fake. The result is meaningless, no?
What does that mean? The photo in question is a cropped (but not resized) version of a picture that would be too big too post and would look exactly the same in the MPG display area. The only difference would be that you would see more of the steering wheel and dash, which wouldn't help determine if the picture was fake.And we do not have the originals.
My HCH "Inverse Midlife Crisis".What's it supposed to be a picture of?
My current tank was actually at 69.6 after one round trip to the gas station. Cold and rain have drug it down a bit but next summer I promise a REAL picture of my HCH with a tank in the high 60ies or maybe even low 70ies.Mmmmmm...maybe a Honda Civic Hybrid driving downhill ?
Yep.The Prius I think has the MPG readout on that center console screen thingy. I would guess that it's a HCH, but that's just a guess.
_When comparing to the Trip A readout that Jinno posted vs. the Trip B in your coded picture, the latter is offset?[/quote]The display in question looks exactly as pictured in the trip B area when looking at the trip B meter. BTW I didn't post the images on Insight Central because of this rule:
[quote]5. Please only use images in your posts when you feel they are absolutely necessary (i.e. for your car Modifications). Do NOT post any images which are not of the Insight without first consulting with a moderator or the site admin. If the image is not absolutely necessary, use a link to the image on another server, rather than incorporating it into your post using the "img" function. No image may exceed the maximum size of 450x450 pixels (6.25"x6.25"), without prior moderator approval. We have also disabled the use of images in signatures. Please remember that images use precious bandwidth. Any pictures that are unrelated to the Insight will be subject to deletion. [/quote]
And the verdict is:[quote] So it looked like you had taken the "58" and made a "68" out of it. [/quote]Correct, but I'm not sure how you could tell because I couldn't. It was easy to fake. I just zoomed in and copied the lower left vertical bar from the 8 and stuck it on the 5 as you seem to have guessed. Please note that all my pictures are real except this one. A daytime picture might have showed a square box in the copied area but the night time pic is all black so the lines did not show. I still could have touched up a daytime picture with a slight blur or just did the extra segment one pixel at a time.
My point was going to be to show that you can't tel for sure.
nice job. i fooled some others with this one i made:lakedude said:Correct, but I'm not sure how you could tell because I couldn't. It was easy to fake.

I totally agree, in fact that was the point I was trying to make.What I meant was, does it make a difference if it is fake or not. One can never be sure anyway.
Fear not, a REAL picture of my current record tank is on the way!I was actually hoping you were going to say this was a pic from an HCH owner in AL, LA, or FL with great temps for hypermiling this time of year
