      Damn your gas is so cheap in the US! Holy heck... You guys are so lucky, the US has the lowest fuel prices in the whole western world. Makes me chuckle with envy when I see American's complaining about gas prices!!!
      I've just gotten my latest gas pricing for my fuel card... I pay 2.89 NZ$ per L = 6.60 US$ per galon. In some places it's even higher, like our larget city, Auckland, where it's roughly 7.28US$ per galon.

    I have a 2023 rav 4 limited hybrid. I have had it for about 6 months with about 3900 miles. Right now I am averaging 44.4 mpg. It was up to 47.0 mpg in the summer. I am extremely happy with this vehicle.

    I have 2023 RAV4 XLE AWD NON-hybrid,
    Best result was 51.3mpg,
    previous best result was 47.4 on highway.
    But usually my combined MPG between 30-42 mpg, Denver City - something around 30-33 mpg, Highway around 38-42 mpg.
    Smart cruise control helps a lot to get best MPG.
    ECO-mode 99.9% of time.
    Start-Stop function were disable.
    I don't push it hard, trying to keep the engine below 2000-3000 rpm.
    Break-in oil change at 750miles, next oil change at 5000 miles and next changes every 5000 miles etc.

    Thanks for your video. We have a 2022 RAV 4 Prime model SE (plug in hybrid). With a depleted battery in pure hybrid mode I have been keeping records of miles driven and gasoline pumped. For the last 1,269.4 miles I have used 25.348 gallons of gasoline (87 octane with 10% Ethanol mostly Costco Brand). The calculated MPG is 50.078. From what I can calculate the MPG gauge appears to be off about 2 MPG over read so about 2 MPG less that what the MPG displays reads. Which is what your trip confirms.
    This is in pure hybrid mode with a completely depleted battery just like driving a hybrid RAV 4. We live in Northwest Oregon on the coast. Speeds ranged from 25 MPH in town to 55-60 MPH on the highways here (55 MPH being the speed limit) in our locality.

    You'll see a large difference in mpg between, 60, 65, and 70 mph ... Also tires matter. The V design Michelin tires seem to do best for road noise and mpg on all SUVS.

  • @therider867
    @therider867 6 месяцев назад +1

    Your fill up test is assuming you put in the exact amount that you started with. If the car was on slightly uneven ground on the initial fill, it may have had less than 100% of capacity.
    And less than 3 gallons is a pretty small margin to work with. So, basically, that 1mpg difference could be explained by variables in the test conditions.
    Still, 39mpg is pretty solid for a small suv.

    I'm curious as to what mode you were using. Were you in Eco or Normal? We just brought home our new '23 Limited Hybrid last week. We had taken it out for a 30 minute test drive and then about 10 miles of city driving before driving the 90 mile trip back home. We varied our speed from 50 - 65 mph on a 2 lane highway with rolling hills driving into a 10-12 mph cross wind. The trip odometer had 148 miles on it when we drove into our garage and the mpg was reading 39.7 mpg. We had driven though 7 small communities to get home & I played around with all 3 driving modes with no hard acceleration. I won't fill with fuel until it gets down around 1/4 tank so I have no idea what the actual mpg is, but if it's close, I'm pretty stoked.

      You should use 87 Octane fuel in a 2023 RAV4 Hybrid. Unfortunately I don't know what brands of gasoline are available in Canada (I've never been!) but in my personal vehicles here in the USA I prefer to use Chevron or Texaco fuel with the techron additive. I will also use Shell, Mobil, or 76 if Chevron is not available. But again, I don't if any of those are available in Canada, and quite frankly that's just one person's opinion anyway.

      You shouldn't. If your vehicle already gets into the high 20s to 30s mpg, buying a new hybrid is not a wise money move. A typical driver will only save a few hundred dollars a YEAR. That's right. Only a few hundred over the course of a year.
      When you compare that to a new car payment or the opportunity cost of paying cash with 25k, it's a loser scenario.
      Now, if your Kia is on its last leg and needs replacing, then why not go hybrid?

  • @jdway8646

    Hey, I just wanted to point out that I don’t think your test was completely accurate. I think the Toyota hybrid system manages the fuel, pretty well, and I think that it calculates the amount of fuel being injected into the engine. I think when we are doing our non-scientific scientific test, we are not completely taking into consideration, how much fuel is actually being injected into the engine

    • @CarDietrich
      @CarDietrich  Год назад

      I agree with you that my test is imperfect, but based on my limited time and resources I don’t have a better way to do it. The perfect way to do it would be in a lab where you drain the tank completely, put ten gallons into the tank, and run the car on a dynamometer that is set to provide resistance to the wheels equal to the car accelerating up to and maintaining 70 mph. But then you have the variables of the dyno and it’s programming and mechanical wear over time etc etc. I’m just doing the best I can do with what I have.

I'm always in ECO mode, I drive conservatively, I coast to red lights & I'm easy on the brakes. My highway driving is mostly under 60 mph & about 20% of my driving.

      Toyota is upfront about how their AWD system works, and I believe I mentioned it in the video. I wouldn’t call it “fake,” but I would say it wouldn’t be nearly as good in the snow or off road as a similar vehicle where the gas engine could power both axels.

      Power to the rear wheels is AWD no matter how it is delivered or utilized.
      FWD vehicles are the most efficient, small engines skinny tires, nice shape and low to the ground = good mpg.
