I have recently brought a Rav4 2013 2.2DT. All of the research I have done suggests I
should be getting around 6.5L/100Km, this includes the Toyota website. I am getting closer to
8L/100K. This includes a 800K highway trip. I got just over 630K on a full tank (60L).

I’ve been back to the dealer but they were no help at all. I have rung Toyota. They say they will look into it.

Is it just my car (my luck) or is this a common experience with the Rav4?

Hi Rod, if it is all wheel drive auto model which I assume (being Cruiser), I was told to expect around 8l per 100 km. I have the same issue with the same car same year / model. Someone from this forum said they get 6.5 l per 100 km. But it was from a same car model with manual gear box.

Cheers.

Hi Rod

maybe not related, but my 2013 rav4 2.2DT fuel consumption has gone up, and have just discovered my oil consumption also, and with the oil issue, my engine needs new head and pistons replaced under warranty

Don't take any notice of what the computer tells you about the fuel consumption. (My diesel says around 7.5L/100klm.) It's best to work it out manually by measuring the fuel at the bowser and calculating it against the klm done. Also don't take any notice of the amount of klm's they say you've got left in the tank. It's all over the shop. So is the speedo. See elsewhere on the RAV4 forum. Keep an eye on the oil consumption and please, join the "Oil Consumption" forum.

Cheers

Hi All,

I upgraded to a 2014 RAV 4 GXL @LT 2WD last May.

The salesman told us to expect approximately 600kms per tank.

From the day we left the showroom, we have been averaging between 450 & 500kms per tank. My wife is the usual driver and doesn't driver erratically.

Dash display reads 9.8LT/100kms which seems excessive.

The specifications list the RAV 4 as having a 60Lt fuel tank, despite this we have never put in more then 50LTs when refuelling despite the fuel gauge reading empty and 11 kms remaining on the dash cruising range display.

We are not a car savy family therefore I appreciate the feedback from all.

LJA,

I presume your RAV4 is petrol. I can't comment because I've got a diesel but just take note of my previous post on the 12th Feb. Don't trust car computers and salesmen!!

Cheers

      How to delete bluetooth device?

      I have a Yaris and had a similar issue. I just submitted a similar query to GPT. The response was to go into settings, view paired devices, select the device to remove, and confirm the removal. It helped me; I couldn't find the answer on the internet, but I found it there.

      Transmission U660e

      @campbeam much appreciated, very interesting, it’s got me buggered as on the Toyota Estima groups everyone is quoting 1.6 litres cold for a drain and drop, now, these run the exact same drivetrain as the Aurion 2GR-FE and U660E combo, so in theory all figures should line up, I’m hedging my bets on your maths and techniques though, you seem well versed…. thanks again

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      My wife is looking at purchasing a new 2024 C-HR Hybrid. Does anyone with one of these know whether the doors lock automatically when driving off? Her 2018 C-HR doesn't do this which is annoying as my 11 year old Kia Sportage does.

      IAC for 1997 Camry Vienta (3vzfe)

      You'll see quite a few Japanese companies which have similar names to other ones due to the syllabic Japanese language (words are made up of syllables rather than distinct letters, so there are only so many combinations), or because they are named after their founding (and many people/places have similar names, also due to the syllabic nature). Both Aisin and Aisan get the first half of their name from the Aichi Prefecture (a Japanese province) they started in, it gets a bit complicated after that (Japanese is a strange language, you can have individual syllables that are pronounced one way but when combined with another are pronounced differently, so the San part of Aisan comes from Mie Prefecture (both san and mi are related to the number three). Aisin comes from when Aichi Kogyo (Aichi Industries) merged with Shinkawa Kogyo (Shinkawa Industries) to form Aisin Seiki (Aisin Standard, or something similar). Another good example is that a lot of Toyotas will have Mitsuboshi (Three Stars) accessory belts, not to be confused with Mitsubishi (Three Diamonds)

      Why no Land Cruiser forum

      Having just discovered this group and having made a significant reply to a Land Cruiser question from a member, I'm wondering why there is no specific discussion forum for Land Cruisers, given their popularity. This is now particularly relevant given the unavailability of the missing (from the web) LCOOL forum (Land Cruiser Owners On Line). This was a great forum with a mountain of very valuable information regarding Land Cruisers, but it has disappeared. Does anyone know of other sites that cater for LC owners? I know of the Facebook group Landcruiser Owners Group Australia but find it useless and too hard to navigate. I am not a Facebook fan! Kind regards Geoff
