06 Govenment MPG Ratings?

Are you happy with the mileage you're getting with your 06 RAV 4 (either engine)? How is it comparing to the Govt ratings? The RAV is on my list of SUVs I'm concidering. This is the last bit of info I need before choosing. I'm sure we would all like to know.

Re: 06 Govenment MPG Ratings?

We have had our 06 RAV-4 for about two weeks. We have the 4 cyl with 2 wheel drive. I just filled it up this morning. We live in a metropolitan city suburb. Drove 209 miles, about half of that is city driving with the A/C on. We got 24.9 MPG. With a rating of 24/30 I guess I was expecting about 26. The minivan we traded in with a V6 would have probably gotten about 23 for the same distance/driving pattern. I am going to check the mileage for the next few fillups to validate this.

Re: 06 Govenment MPG Ratings?

Finally bought a RAV Sport 4 cyl week before last. Got 20.4 mpg on the first tank. Got 25.3 on the second and 24.7 on the third. That's at about a 60/40 highway/city split. This is the first time I've ever bought a car and the mileage was below the published rating from the get go. Anyone else had an 06 RAV longer and what mileage are you getting? Thanks redtrain65.
