Best SUV ever made if you really USE an SUV (off-road, pack it, camp in it, the seats that turn into a bed are a nice touch for those heavy down-pour nights, load it up with gear and go) (from 2000 on, they're not the same). BTW, mileage is with vehicle over 100k miles.

I have an 06 XLT 4 Dr 2.3L V6 Engine Ford Escape. I have a 20-25 mile one way commute I have drive 5 or 6 days a week. I mainly drive on the freeway, rarely city. I fill my tank every 4 days. I usually average 300+/tank. And in San Francisco, it usually cost me between $30-$35/tank. A friend of mine owns a Honda CRV and she does a lot of freeway driving and she told me her CRV averages about the same mileage and gas. Hope this helps.

Best small/ midsize SUV mileage? by seahorse1

I recently bought a horse, so I'm selling my 2006 Prius to buy an SUV (not planning to haul a trailer, just equipment). Most of my daily driving is city with traffic (idling).
 
Based on real world MPG: Any suggestions on which SUV to go for? Don't want another hybrid they're not worth the extra cost for what you actually get -- but I'm just about convinced I'm gonna buy a 2008 2.4L 4 cyl Toyota RAV4 Sport.
 
I'd like to hear from other SUV owners out there if there are other models I should consider?
Thanks!

I think most of the RAV4 owners will tell you to get the 6 cylinder for the extra pep, with not too much of a mpg hit. And for toting a bunch of horse tack around, my guess is that a 4 banger would struggle a bit. You gonna be hauling lots of bags of oats and stuff too?

Two of my friends have RAV4's with the V6 and it seems to me to be about the best FE around with good "scoot" power. I was considering the HH but with the tax credits now gone, the extra cost would never be justified as far as economics are concerned.

How heavy does the trailer get when it's fully loaded?
 
Honestly, I think a 4Runner would be better suited to that task.

Thanks for the input, I'm not sure I need / want a 6 but will test drive both the 4 & 6 to be sure. The most feed I'd be hauling at one time would be two 50 # bags, so it's not like it's gonna be loaded with stuff.
 
If I could afford to feed it, I'd get a Tundra so I could also haul a trailer. But whatever I buy will be my every day vehicle, so no Tundra for now.

Hi
Not hauling trailer with this vehicle -- but depending on whether I got an aluminum or steel trailer, it'd probably be upwards of 5000# with horse on board.
