Real World MPG by Owners (gas non-hybrid 4Runner) - Post Yours ⛽️

[4jogger]

The highest I have seen is around 28-29 mpg on a highway trip. This is with a bike rack attached which might affect aero.

Has anyone done back to back testing with higher octane gas to see what the effect is?

For a heavy truck this is normal. The RAV4 is a passenger car. It serves a different purpose.

Um yeah, I knew that. My screenshot shows the mileage from my Frontier (traded in on the 4R) and my motorhome, both much worse than the 4R. I guess I was just sneaking in a little brag about the RAV and how well the PHEV maximizes the MPG.

Got new tires installed yesterday (KO3 255/75R17), so let's see what happens to mpg.
