I am getting better but at the bottom of City with City and highway combined. This is the first vehicle that I have owned that I have found that my driving / MPG has been lower than what is on the sticker.

5000 + mile mpg by raviola4

I've finally got a little over 5000 miles on my 4cyl Rav. Mileage on 1st few fill ups in beginning around 23.5 in mostly local driving. That has dropped off some. Not sure if gas locally i use had the 10% Ethanol crap in it then or not and i'm told that affects mileage. Probably off 1 mpg, not much, but only helps to send me (and others)back to the pumps for more gas, more dependancy on foreign oil yada yada. Still have not had a solid 100% trip. When highway mixed in getting around 26 mpg, but alot of 70 mph driving involved. And sticker mileage ratings based on 50-55 mph.

stopped and topped off tank twice once down and once coming back - hard to pass up gas 87 octane at 2.11 per gallon. -))

Owner's manual says not to drive at one speed for a long time during first 1000 miles. What is a long time? I thought that the VVTI was supposed to 'learn' the type of driving that you do in order to maximize efficiency. If turnpike driving is 80% of my miles, how can it learn it if I don't drive it?
