Whether for braking, route, hills, lights, traffic, etc. I've never been one for brakes whether as a light foot or lead foot. Dyno for mentioning staying off the brakes! I always forget to mention that. I would suggest you to use the search option at or to find more info. All those things cut my mileage some, but they are more then worth it to me! Come on? Who needs 2 subs? ), factory rims, spare tire, various tools tucked away, moon roof open, and I'm in the process of getting a replacement rear spoiler. I have things on my RAV that isn't helping my mileage. RAVs aren't exactly aerodynamically sound.Īs far as the premium fuel, if it works for you, do it!! Whether your RAV "needs" it, gets enough better mileage to pay for it, or if it just provides a peace of mind to you, that okay. The faster you go the more wind drag problems you will encounter. It takes some practice, but it's a good one! Give yourself space to get going before the other person has started.
A good way to do this without making others wait for you is to stop further back. Wait a couple of seconds for it to get your RAV going before stepping on the gas peddle. Autos will automatically want to go when you take your foot off the brake. If you have an auto, one trick that will save you a lot in town, is for when you get going from a stop. Keeping a lighter foot at any speed will increase your mileage however. I get the best mileage there between 37-45 MPH (56-72 KPH). My RAV shifts into overdrive at 40 MPH (65 KPH). Isn't it easier to ride along at a high gear when your moving fast? And even then, it's easier to go a bit slower then it is to try and go fast. If you have a manual, you don't want to be bogging it down of course. If you watch, you will get your best mileage in any gear, just after it shifts. Denial for sure! What can you expect coming from a lead foot?! I thought mine was around 50-55 MPH (80-89 KPH), but I think I was still not ready (mentally) to slow down. If you have a way of tracking your instant mileage you can learn your RAV's "sweet spot". But I have learned that the bigger the engine the easier it is for it to go at slower speeds. I know I have a 4.1 and it's only a 4 cyl.
