The TSB also affects the early part of the 2007 model year. Any 2007s still on lots shouldn't be affected.
 
I have the V6 - it's only slightly thirstier than the four-cylinder. I get a consistent 21-22 mpg around town and 27-28 on the highway, even 29-30 a couple of times.

Sure, just like in any other car it depends on how hard you push it and what kind of driving you do. Edmunds' long-term test of a RAV4 V6 included some pretty good mpg figures when they were using the car in more of a day-to-day vs. a road test mode.

They are lead foots. I have the same engine in my Sienna, and I'm averaging 25mpg or so, mostly suburbs/highway. My low is 23mpg and my high is 30.6mpg on a trip.
 
If you want the V6, get the V6. Consumer Reports noted only a 1 mpg difference between the V6 and the 4 banger RAV4.

raviola4, do you have the details on that TSB? I have an 06 Rav4 4 cyl with the same lag issue and will be brining it in for service shortly. I'd love to have that info available to show them.

Does the AWD model lower gas mileage much?

I've seen the I-4 compared to the V6, but not AWD vs. FWD.
 
Toyota uses a part-time system, so there shouldn't be too much extra drag in the drivetrain. You just have to carry a little extra weight around. Figure you lose 1 or 2 mpg, tops.

How would you say these compare to CR-V's? Honda dealerships will NOT deal CR-V's! I am thinking about RAV4 or CR-V

If you want a 4 cyl than get the CRV if you want a V6 get the RAV4. I have the V6 RAV 2006 and get great mileage and have the great V6 engine that is one of the 10 best in the world...

They should be very similar.
 
Honestly, both are relatively efficient, I would look for other criteria to make your choice.
