#32 of 254 Second Tank - worst than 1st by jarek Jul 07, 2006 (1:12 am)
Sport 2.4L Auto 4x4, 400miles.   I have just finished second tank. I am terrified! 16.9mpg Mixed city/highway 70/30. AC all the time on. Very, very easy on gas pedal. Temp. 100F, humidity 60%+ That is worst than my Tahoe with 5.3L V8 driving the same conditions. What's wrong? jarek Replies to this message: friendly_jacek (Jul 07, 2006 2:25 am) jarek (Jul 07, 2006 5:20 am) jarek (Jul 12, 2006 7:41 am)

Replying to: jarek (Jul 07, 2006 1:12 am) Sounds bad but it normal if you do short trips (under 2-3 miles) and lots of idling with AC on. My wife gets 16 mpg in city in her V6. What's your location? Replies to this message: jarek (Jul 07, 2006 5:20 am) jarek (Jul 12, 2006 7:41 am)

Replying to: friendly_jacek (Jul 07, 2006 2:25 am) Currently I live in Dubai. I rather do not idle that much. Will have first 1000 miles service soon and need to check this.

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 17, 2006 2:01 pm) Bought my 2006 4WD Limited 4-cyl RAV-4 in February 2006. I now have about 5300 miles on it. Overall mix is about 50/50 hwy/local driving. The best mileage I have tracked is about 25.5 mpg on a hwy trip. For mostly local driving I get around 20-21 mpg. I use regular unleaded (87 octane). Got an all-time low of 19 mpg over July 4 while sitting in a traffic jam getting out of town.   Not sure why this is so low compared to the mpg on the sticker. Maybe I am still trying to drive it like the 240 hp car I sold when I bought the RAV 4 baby buggy.....   Side note - has anyone else noticed a sluggish transmission on this vehicle?

Replying to: charles64 (Jul 10, 2006 10:07 am) Re slow transmission - look into Problems and Solutions for lots of details about this issue. There is no solution to it that I would hear of.

Replying to: friendly_jacek (Jul 07, 2006 2:25 am) 3rd tank mix city/highway - 20mpg 4th tank highway only - 23.5mpg. 91 octants only and now 800miles on it. Its getting better but still disappointing.   jerr
#39 of 254 Re: Base Model 4x2 (4 cyl 2.4) - First Tank Results [roman1] by roman1 Jul 14, 2006 (2:14 pm)
Replying to: roman1 (Jun 26, 2006 9:08 am) My 3rd tank of gas was 24.65 mpg.   Here is the history so far:   1st tank 26.44 mpg 2nd tank 25.84 mpg 3rd tank 24.65 mpg   NOTE: all mix driving 65% highway + 35% city .   Conclusion: Yes the mileage has been slipping away because I have strarted to drive just a little more on the normal side (70-75 mph on Freeway) and not driving like an grandma anymore. I will keep you all posted.

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 17, 2006 2:01 pm) I am on my third RAV4, third body style, and also the worst gas mileage. I have a 4cyl, drive like an old lady when I have to, and my best mpg is 23 with mixed city/highway. I called the dealership and they confided with me that the testing Toyota does does not include going above 48mpg, or any stop and go traffic!
