Poor fuel economy on Toyota RAV4
My Toyota RAV4 2.2 diesel is disappointing in its fuel economy and only averages at 27mpg. I would like to have something with similar versatility, comfort and quality, but better MPG. Can you help with recommendations please?

If it's only getting 27mpg in regular use then there's something wrong with it or with your type of regular use. Should do 36 - 45mpg .
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
