Just looking for some feedback from other RAV4 owners. I got a 2008 RAV4 with 4WD and V6 engine. It's now got 12000 miles on it and since the beginning I have been consistently getting about 14 mpg in mixed city/highway conditions. Now, I know that many different factors can affect fuel consumption so I have tried a more conservative driving style, avoiding quick acceleration, sunroof and windows closed to reduce drag, Winter, Spring, Summer.... you name it... I've tried everything and the best I've gotten is 15mpg. I've complained to Toyota and they've tested the car several times.. They can't find anything wrong with it. At this point, Toyota claims that it is normal to see this huge variation from their posted fuel ratings (I believe they advertise 26mpg?). I find this hard to believe so I'm hoping to hear from other owners out there... Is there something wrong with my car or have I been misled by Toyota?
