Gas mileage for my 1998 3dr 4wd 5spd is about 23-24 mixed driving. I live in Calif. While on a two week trip to Utah, the gas mileage jumped up to over 28 mixed driving and went to 32 on a long road trip. I drive about like Kelly-65 or so cruising.My motor home also got about two and a half more mile to the gallon once I bought gas out of California. That's how bad gas is out here in this state. I also took the RAV down into Canyonland National Park on a jeep trail that was posted for high clearance 4wd vehicles only-experieced 4wd operators strongly recommended. It had rained the night before and everything was muddy and slick. The car performed great and stayed with all of the other 4wds we saw down there. Got all full of red mud and sand, but it sure was a great ride.
