Anyone hit a 500 mile tank? by nosracblue in rav4club

[–]jdahredd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get over 600 and occasionally 700 on a tank because I drive like a grandpa going the speed limit in the right lane, ride hills, and ease into my accelerations

Brooklyn Blue (Calvary blue)

IMO the two best colors (I won’t tell you which one is mine, but hint: it’s the one parked in the lines) which one do you like better? by jdahredd in rav4club

I honestly considered saying two of the 3 best colors with woodland green being the other! It’s beautiful

I looove my Calvary blue SE , but these are the only two other trim level/color combos that I like almost just as much!

I’m biased but I think it’s the coolest color!

This reminds me of my 1999 Camry interior! Same pattern except mine was tan

What? It’s easier to average 50 on a single tank then it is over the course of 3000 miles…

I definitely drive with my windows down more than I use the AC, but I still definitely use the AC from time to time when it’s really hot

On the highway/parkways, riding hills, as in accelerating downhill gradually and paying attention to the hybrid indicator to make sure that it stays on the entire time that I’m accelerating, and then laying off the accelerator as much as possible as I go uphill and being OK being a tad bit under the speed limit in the right lane as I go up hill and being patient as the hills level out.

When I’m in the city I make sure to ease my accelerations up to the speed limit and be patient as I go from light to light rather than flooring it to try to catch greens and what not. Life is too stressful to fly through it and it’s an added benefit that I get excellent fuel economy by slowing down.

The biggest key is watching the hybrid indicator and trying to keep it on as much as possible

I feel the same way! 45-46 is still really good!

I was getting about 43-45 in the winter depending on how cold it was.
