V6 2WD
1200 total miles
70/30 City/Highway
22.5 MPG
I live about 3 miles from work, so the car doesnt get a good warm-up in the morning or afternoon.
Last Tank: 22.63 (local driving - mostly city with short 4 mile jaunts on a freeway)
Overall Average: 22.08
Best: 25.78 (All Highway)
Worst: 20.53 (local driving)
Only premium gas, 50/50 highway - city driving.
Soft on acceleration.
Dealer says these results are O'K and there is no reason to file a complaint.
This is getting close to my 2004 V8 Tahoe.
What is happening with Toyota?
Best: 28.7 mpg (summer highway)
Worst: 17.2 mpg (winter city)
Overall average: 23.1 mpg

Tank 1 22.2 MPG. Lots of suburban stop-go.
Tank 2 27.6 MPG All HWY miles against a head wind
Tank 3 25.4 MPG Mostly HWY miles
Tank 4 24.4 MPG HWY miles against a headwind and speeding
I think the vehicle will get very close to posted MPG if driven reasonably. Overall I am pleased, as it is close to Highlander Hybrid without the extra cost.
Keeping on topic - having put some additional highway miles on I've found that 28 mpg is easily achievable and with an effort to drive for economy I can crack 30 mpg.
(I have read a lot of the comments on the forum, and haven't found any mentions of anything that might help, which makes me wonder if I am not being realistic about trying to improve the mileage, even if it just gets me to 20 mpg w/ac. Filling up every 250 miles is getting kind of irritating.)
Try a couple of tanks of regular and see if your mileage improves.
BTW- I can't say it enough... the RAV4 is, in the immortal words of Peter Griffin, FREAKIN' SWEET!
