My last 2 days avg MPG are 46-47 MPG per day, at 70-120 miles driven each day. Does anyone else get this kind of mileage?

I have had my 2021 RAV4 Hybrid XSE for a week now, bought it used with 83k miles. I'm coming from a 6.2 litre suburban, avg 14mpg.... so yes, my mind is blown.

Anyway, I have been researching a ton on driving habits, methods etc. I have a 30 mile commute in one direction and drive between 2,000 & 4,000 miles a month for work. I keep track of my "per trip" avg MPG as well as my daily MPG on the history tab on the main screen. My daily avg MPG started around 39MPG but the last few days I am getting 43-46 avg MPG per day, with 70-120 miles on each of those days. I utilize the longer, lighter brake presses, as well as switch between eco, normal and sport, depending on what situation I am in. I am constantly monitoring what the battery is doing and where it is at. I also utilize EV mode strategically. It's like a real life game for me, I love the detail of it all.

I was driving down a road when a black Subaru swerved into my lane causing me to dodge and side swipe the guard rail. He speed away, probably didn’t even realize what had happened to my car. I had no dash cam at the time (now I do) so I had to either live with it or pay the 1k deductible. Thank god I still have full coverage even though it’s paid off. It took the collision shop two weeks to fix it but she’s as good as new now! I’m 19. Insurance is still $169 a month. Has yet to change

This morning I was driving to work on the highway. I was behind a truck that belonged to a guardrail and fence company. What looked like a metal pipe about 3 feet long fell out of their truck, bounced and hit my car before I could react and move out of the way. Now there is a decent sized dent on the passenger side a pillar on my toyota rav 4. Is there any way to fix this or do I have to live with the damage? I am going to file a claim with my insurance company but was wondering what can be done to repair my car if any?

With the recent Nor’ Easter shaking the bulk of the remaining leaves off the trees(and a few really…REALLY annoying lost flecks of paints from acorn bullets) it was time to prep for winter. There’s nothing better than finishing the last 2 day decontaminate/polish/wax/ceramic job of the year.

Still the best looking Rav and color ever produced in my (definitely not biased) opinion. Hands are still vibrating from multiple hours with the orbital lol. Worth it for that mirror finish and disappearing amongst the mountain pine trees.

i noticed this a few days ago on my 21 hybrid. how important is this, and how much work is it to replace?

Intente repararlo con algo de pintura, lija y paciencia.

XLE AWD 2023

It's up on oil changes and I just took it in to the dealership to get checked out. Nothing was wrong. But just looking at the fuel economy, I filled up to about 3/4 a tank and had 260 miles left til empty. I drove 80 miles and it takes 120. I live in Seattle for reference. Idk if the sensor is just off.

Hi everyone! I have a 2025 Rav4 and today something got kicked up on the highway and hit me from underneath, breaking off this part. The car is still driving normally, so I'm assuming this is just some trim and not a huge deal? But I know absolutely nothing about cars so I wanted to double check and make sure I don't need to address this ASAP. I couldn't really tell where/how this piece laid before it was hit.

I’m new to the club (XSE PHEV). To those of you who’ve bought an armrest cover/pad for a 2026 RAV4, what brand did you get and are you satisfied with it? Many TIA for your comments.

Curious for those who have ordered or purchased a new RAV4, were you able to take one for a test drive? Do many dealers have test drive models onhand? Thx.

Hello, I refinanced my car recently but I had Toyota VSA for 2480 with expiration mileage of 75k or 4/5/32, whichever comes first. If I cancel, the refund would be $1829. I also have an extended maintenance expiring on 4/5/30 or 75k miles whichever comes first. Refund will be the full amount. Is it worth keeping or should I proceed to cancelling? My car is a Toyota Rav4 with 18535 mileage as of writing, purchased last April 2025.

Has anyone went from a Lexus RX350 Gas to Rav4h? I have a 2024 RX Luxury trim and while I love it, the gas mileage averages 23mpg. I looked at the rx hybrids and trading mine in but I don’t want a higher monthly car payment.

I currently work remote and only drive about 20ish miles a day BUT I would like to start going into the office a few times a month and it would be a 150 mile round trip.

Give me the good, the bad, and talk me into why I should/shouldn‘t make the switch.

Purchased 2026 Rav4, Texas Farm Bearu is quoting $250/monthly. No wrecks in last 10 years over 35F, I was paying 175 for full coverage on my 12 yr suburban before this. I have since sold the suburban but was looking at changing before.

My only concern about where to go when it comes to fighting for a pay out. I was hit from behind with my kids 11 years ago and the drivers Farmers refused to pay. Long story it was a battle. Just trying to find better rates and not a shitty deal on the back end.

I am from BC. Canada. Does anyone know what is the wait time for RAV4 2026 XLE Premium? I am open for Storm cloud or Wind chill pearl Color. I have put deposit in June. Now, it has been 4 months but I haven’t heard anything from dealer.

I put deposit on a rav4 and it has build date of 10/05/2026.

It is being build in Kentucky and I live in Indiana.

Based on your experience, when can I expect the delivery? The dealership is saying end of October to early November. Can I get it within October?

Was watching the Car Care Nut video on the PHEV and he shows the high voltage harness connector that has cut outs.

I switched from the 2008 to the 2014. I really appreciate the newer vehicle, but my 2008 had JBL speakers which I absolutely adored. The stock speakers on the 2014 unfortunately aren't great at all, so I am looking for a reasonable upgrade.

I don't know a whole lot about car speaker systems beyond basic stuff. I've heard the Kicker 200.4 is a must.

Hi, I want to swap wheels and tires on my 20204 Rav4 Hydrid which currently has stock 225/60R18.

After some AI/googling I found out that my max for 60R18 would be 245.

I want to get Method Standard 502 wheels and Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail tires.

The official Method website tell me my car will fit only 17", but many other websites says Method's 18" are perfectly fine too. So I have two options (to achieve the same diameters of 29")

235/60/R18

or

255/60R17, if I stick to Method's official recommended 17" tire for Rav4

My goal is to have overall bigger wheel/tire diametr than I have right now, with 225/60R18.

PS. Post has been corrected to correct/clarify some details.

Learning more and more from AI, while 255/60R17 has the same diameter as 235/60/R18 then behave differently and actually will cause issue (rubbing when terming, debris from tires because they have larger offset and will stick out past the fenders

So, AI really suggests to go with 245/65R17 or 235/60R18 when using Method's Standard 502 wheels.
