Replying to: lir (Jun 17, 2006 10:44 am) I have not taken it on the highway recently, but with strictly in town driving I'm getting around 23 MPG with about 7500 miles on the car.
#12 of 254 Mileage after 4000 miles by wiley1 Jun 21, 2006 (9:45 am)
Just turned 4000 miles on my RAV4 4WD V-6 Limited. I have been consistently been getting between 25-26 MPG on 75% hwy, 25% city driving.
#13 of 254 Mileage after 7200 miles by rgurin Jun 21, 2006 (1:23 pm)
I have 7200 miles on my RAV4 V6 Base (2WD). I average between 25 and 26 miles per gallon. 80 percent of my driving is highway, but I'm also burning extra gas stuck in traffic.   Recently, my wife and I took a trip to the Smoky Mountains, and for the entire trip, I averaged about 22 mpg. However, there was lots of city driving and idling involved.
#14 of 254 mileage gets better but less than 30 by haha11haha Jun 22, 2006 (8:23 am)
I have 4x2 4 cyl with 11500 miles on it.   I am getting somewhere around 27-28 now highway miles, before it was around 24-25, with full load 20 highway.   But now I the engine got very noisy.   Haave most of the problems described on Edmunds forum.   Windows rattle, i was told that it is a design flaw. Was fixed,noise came up again, they are going to replace the whole power window system.   Electronics is glitchy. Had wird stuff with LCDs, nonreadable symbols. VSC and ABS were lit up for several weeks, cruise control didn't work until they cleared computer memory second time. These are hard to verify problems... I have to run to a dealer every time I see it, otherwise they wont believe me. They joked on my RAV4 saying I got Ford Explorer. And everytime I come to the dealer all management comes out and looks at the problems saying WOW this is first time we see it. liek it helps. Toyota Motor Corp does not want to do anything yet. Lemon law doesn't fit yet... So I have no clue what to do with it. Replies to this message: nitecap (Dec 02, 2007 11:29 am)
#15 of 254 MPG - V6 Limited 4WD by thecat Jun 23, 2006 (4:13 am)
I have been tracking my mileage since purchasing the RAV in April. After 2800 miles I'm averaging 24.7 mpg. I would say my driving has been about 60% local (not really city) and 40% highway. I did have one tank where I got 26.2 mpg. That was due to about 70% highway driving. If you use a little common sense - no fast starts or rushing to get to a red light - the mileage seems pretty amazing to me.
#16 of 254 Base Model 4x2 (4 cyl 2.4) - First Tank Results by roman1 Jun 26, 2006 (9:08 am)
My first tank of gas on a Base Model 4x2 (4 cylinder)in San Diego, California was 26.44 mpg. Not bad if you read the considerations below   Note: first 1/2 of the tank drove by myself w/out AC. The other half I had full load 4 passengers (still w/out AC). The results were based on aprox 65% highway & 35% city driving.   I will keep track of the future results Replies to this message: roman1 (Jul 04, 2006 8:56 pm) roman1 (Jul 14, 2006 2:14 pm)
#17 of 254 Sport 4x4 2.4L by jarek Jun 30, 2006 (3:22 am)
On my first full tank I have made 17.8 mpg on 91 octane. So bad! I drove mix 60% highway / 40% city with the A/C all the time on. Highway speed was 75+. 30% of the distance I drove with 4 people in. Hope that my mpg will improve but there is a clear disconnection of my result comparing to all the others that post 20mpg+ on this site. jerr
#18 of 254 First Few Miles by drohrer Jun 30, 2006 (7:03 am)
Drove our new RAV off the lot and headed home (35 miles) and the next morning headed to PA. (800 miles) We averaged 25.38 mpg on the trip out East. (Me, the wife, my daughter and tons o'crap) Freeways and tollways trying to vary the speed (60-75mph) a few extra stops along the way to admire our new car. Oh yeah I4 4X4 Limted.   Flying back out tomorrow to pick up my car...and my family. Will report on the return trip MPG.
#19 of 254 how many gallons to fill up the tank? by risa Jul 01, 2006 (6:12 am)
Hi all!     I cannot make accurate calculation on my mileage use per gallon. When I pick up my rav4 it was full tank, then when it was 1/4 tank left I put about 10 gallons and then when it's almost empty, but empty light not showing yet, I fill it up again about 13 gallons. Is it really 15.5 gallons to fill the tank? now Its almost empty again and I have 860 miles on it. So, this is how I figure it out.   if the dealer put 15 gallons, then i put another 10 gallons plus 13. Total 38 gallons. 860/38. So I only get 22.63/gallon I'm not impress. This is about 15% highway 85% home to work with few stops with a/c on. Replies to this message: tidester (Jul 01, 2006 8:14 am)

Replying to: risa (Jul 01, 2006 6:12 am) If your tank is "almost empty" then you do not know how much fuel you have used very accurately. You will calculate the mileage by dividing the miles driven by the actual amount of gasoline consumed.   tidester, host
