2004	4dr Wagon 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	I get 23-26mpg around town, 28-30 highway, which I consider very very good for an AWD car. I get same fuel economy as many non AWD cars. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review

2012	4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L H4 CVT AWD	The fuel economy isn't as high expected. I get about 28 mpg. I should probably stop driving like I stole it when the kids are out of the car. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review
2010	4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Not really dislike, I didnt expect civic like mpg. Around town mileage suffers, but on the highways the car cruises quite easily. You can expect ~25mpg on average combined (with no led food). Impressive for the hp and AWD. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review
2010	4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Really crappy, especially for a 2.5L 4 cylinder engine. 22 MPG average. 18 city, 27 highway is what I got. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review

2008	4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	Pathetic for a compact sedan at <28 mpg highway. The AWD system must be a huge fuel sink. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review
2008	4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	For such a small car with NA 170hp engine the economy is rather poor ~24mpg. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 224hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	For a car of that size, the fuel economy is dismal. I get about 19 in the city, which is where most of my driving is done. That is marginally better than any SUV. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Toyota RAV4

Toyota RAV4 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2019	Toyota improved the RAV4 Hybrid's fuel economy dramatically with the redesign. The model's EPA highway rating has surged from 30 to 38 mpg, while its city rating has jumped from 34 to 41 mpg. In suburban driving I easily achieved trip computer averages in the low 40s, with a max of 50. On a 70-mph highway I observed averages from 35 to 38 mpg. While still much less efficient than a Prius, which is lighter and lower, the RAV4 now delivers the fuel economy people expect from a hybrid. With all-wheel-drive (standard on the Hybrid), the non-hybrid RAV4 manages EPA ratings of 25 city and 33 highway. The Subaru Forester achieves similar marks, 26/33. So the new RAV4 Hybrid earns its keep, especially in city driving. A Kia Niro goes farther on a gallon of gas, but is considerably smaller than the RAV4 and isn't offered with AWD. see full Toyota RAV4 review

2015	4dr SUV 176-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The area I live in always yields the city MPG rating, or less. It is suburbia, USA and that means you hit lots of stop lights and have to get up to 45, just to stop for another stop light. Rarely is there ever any real highway driving, in which you go for 5+ miles at highway speed. So all in all, a 23-25mpg in this situation is great. At higher highway speeds, for long periods, I say 28mpg (acutal measured using miles and gallons calcs) vs. trusting the car computer. For the size and weight of the car, I'd say that is great! And I leave it in the ECO mode, to save more MPGs though there is a normal mode, and sport mode. The car has plenty of power, even in ECO mode, so don't be fooled by fancy ads, the mpg's are great! see full Toyota RAV4 review
2013	4dr SUV 176-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Fuel economy is exactly as advertised, 25mpg overall. see full Toyota RAV4 review
2012	4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Fuel economy is descent, I get about 24 mpg on a good day. see full Toyota RAV4 review
2011	4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	My wife and I both drive with a lead foot (80 mph average on highway or more) and this car still averaged 24 mpg the whole time under our ownership (38,000 miles) according to the computer. Real world mpg readings by myself supported that figure as well. see full Toyota RAV4 review
2010	4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Good for a vehicle its size. Similar to my 4cyl Acura in actual driving. see full Toyota RAV4 review
2010	4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	I think the published mileage is above average for the market space (small SUV with V6). see full Toyota RAV4 review
2010	4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	For an AWD V6 SUV fuel economy is very good and only uses 1 mpg more than the 4cyl model, while providing considerably more power. see full Toyota RAV4 review

2009	4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	Amazing for an SUV - First 2 weeks we had it, went on 2 trips over 200 miles each mostly highway. Got over 27 MPG. There are some 4 cyl CARS that do not get that, let alone an SUV. We are saving $50/month just on gas compared to the minivan we traded in see full Toyota RAV4 review
2008	4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	I am currently getting 27MPG when driving @ 65MPH on the highway, and am getting 22-24MPG in the city. see full Toyota RAV4 review

2013	4dr SUV 176-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I've only been driving in heavy traffic and urban cycle, but so far the computer calculates that the car is a complete pig - 16 MPG average with the auto temp on (so AC running). My FR-S easily handles the same in the mid-20s. Maybe less idling / crawling / jackrabbit starting and I'll get the average up. After 3 days and more "normal" driving (some highway in there), I hit low 20s (if the calculator was right - it could be 2 MPG optimistic like the one in my FR-S). see full Toyota RAV4 review
