What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Toyota RAV4 MPG

Toyota RAV4 Fuel Economy: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 suburban 24 mpg, highway 28 mpg
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.
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).
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.
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
2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Best MPG for Horsepower, size.
2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Even with 269 horsepower I still get 26-28 mpg highway and low 20s city.
2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Very good fuel economy (22-24 city/suburban, 26-28 highway) along with outstanding power and towing capability.
2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 One of the best for a vehicle in this class with the V-6 engine.
2008 4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 great gas milage for a V6 with 269 hp

5-speed automatic AWD		 Previously owned a 1997 6 cyl Toyota 4 Runner Limited. That was a vehicle which I was proud and happy to drive but because gas prices started to rise, I wanted something that gave more than 17 mpg. My 6 cyl RAV gives 22 mpg.

6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 I&#039;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&#039;ll get the average up.<br />

After 3 days and more &quot;normal&quot; 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).
