Replying to: jeaniei1111 (Sep 19, 2007 11:46 am) I have a 06 Rav4 Sport 4x4 and have the same issue with my gas mileage. I consistantly average 22mpg which is way off the sticker amount. So, you're not the only one with this issue. It's making me think about looking elsewhere too.

#150 of 254 New '07 4cyl AWD [cont.] by verdi942 Oct 16, 2007 (9:12 am)
Took my third tankful into maximum Manhattan traffic; went 150 miles on 6.5 gallons [including 100 miles of parkway driving] for a 23 mpg average. Not good enough, but I'm hopeful a straight run to Montauk coming up soon will give better results. Replies to this message: robertsmx (Oct 16, 2007 9:53 am)

Replying to: verdi942 (Oct 16, 2007 9:12 am) If you drove quite a bit in serious traffic, 23 mpg on AWD doesn't sound too bad.
#152 of 254 Speed In Gear? by verdi942 Oct 17, 2007 (9:45 am)
I'm seeing 60mph 2200rpm in top gear on my '07 4cyl RAV4 AWD. It seems about right, but I can't find any specs about this anywhere. Does anyone know? Thanks.

My girlfriend has a new '07 RAV4 Sport V6 4WD with less than 1000 miles on the odometer.   We have filled up three times, driving more than 300 miles each time, filling up only when the tank is close to empty. Here are the results: 25.35 MPG 25.72 MPG 26.22 MPG   This is mostly highway/suburban/rural driving, although it includes a daily commute into downtown Cincinnati.   I would also caution people on gauging fuel economy based on a limited number of miles driven per tank. The margin of error can be substantial if you're determining MPG from only a few gallons of gas. It is more accurate if you can provide MPG numbers when using 12/13/14 gallons.

We finally took that trip to Montauk, [flat terrain, no wind, 75 degree weather w/AC on; no traffic, holding 65mph] using 9.8 gallons in 286 miles = 29 mpg. That's more like it, but I think it can do better after more breakin. Driver's seat not too comfy after an hour.

Replying to: ces1938 (Oct 22, 2007 5:47 pm) ces1938 -   You state that you haven't seen anyone come close to 29MPG. Apparently you must have missed my post just a few days earlier!!!   I got just over 26MPG...in mixed driving (with speed over 80MPH at times)...with a V6!!!   Therefore, if I were to drive pure flat highways at 65MPH, I would certainly pick up another 2-3MPG. Which put me right at the 29MPG...with a V6!!!   I have no doubt the previous poster managed 29MPG in an I-4. It can be done without much effort.
