I was thinking of buying a used Rav4 but with gas prices seemingly locked above $2/gallon, mileage is a big issue. The Rav4 is attractive because of its size (fits easily in a my small garage, leaving room for bikes, etc) and the 4WD option (I live in the north, winter's a big deal every year, right now I'm driving a car that's horrible in snow and that's got to change).
I've seen postings elsewhere; some people complain about their Rav4 mileage and some are really happy. It's hard to tell, though, what's what. Not all specify whether they have automatic, 4WD, do city or highway driving, etc.
Have you carefully checked your mileage? What kind of mileage do you get? Do you have automatic? 4WD? Is this highway, city or mixed? What year is your Rav4? I'd really like to know.
If you'd rather not post publicly, e-mail to dhathewa at isd.net would be appreciated by me but I'll bet other potential Rav4 owners would like to see how yours is doing..
