Getting over 43 mpg after some practice in my new RAV4 hybrid! Initially, I was doing too much. I was trying to use the electric ability as much as possible. Watching the graphic engine power graphic...charging the battery/using the battery...trying to avoid the ICE. Shooting for the "Pulse and glide method." After about 4 weeks, I embraced some ideas that have earned 3mpg better. First, I learned that using the electric battery (process of charging the electric battery with the gas engine) is not without its own parasitic drain...and second, the ICE engine is very efficient in its own right. So, I started doing less jockeying of the vehicle to "stay in electric" and let it do it's own thing...It will do the work for you! It will choose the most efficient mode of operation. I do look ahead to anticipate stops and incorporate coasting time. I do speed up gradually. In forums and on youtube I've seen the proposal to: "get up to speed so you can coast and get off the ICE engine." This sounds well thought out...and I wasn't gunning it to get to speed either...just not delaying....anyway...it wasn't panning out. I just speed up gradually...slow down gradually and let the car do the rest. 43.6 mpg average now. It was enlightening to me to see the vehicle get its best numbers after taking a highway trip when it should be less efficient as hybrids go. But...the highway driving limited my ability to jockey the electric battery and I had to allow the vehicle to do its own thing. And surprise, surprise...the average mpg shot up. I thought what Jeff suggested here was too simplistic. Turns out he's absolutely right. It's just that simple.

bfsc chart for 2.4 or 2/.5 liter toyota inline 4 says 2/3 of max torque at 2k-3k rpm is most efficient, hybrid system is nice to minimize tire dust emissions , increasing tire life, and preventing traction loss from the big instant power output. some hybrids have a energy meter that show negative acceleration which is regenerative braking, more slowing down than that is using non regenerative brakes. maybe brakes automaticly use normal brakes without telling you sometimes for when battery is too cold (for battery longveity) and to prevent rusting of brakes by rubbing rust layer off before it infect the rest of the mass. but if it doesnt, you can use normal brakes once in a while for that. brake and steer steadily but minimally. make sure tire inflation is optimal, a bit stiffer is nice. thicker rubber and less metal wheel mass is less weight, pizza pans can cover front wheels for areodynamics and cardboard or plastic can fully cover rear wheels over the wheel at the panels closer to you around it, etc. think flight, julian edgar, are some youtuebr who did realtivly cheap areodynamics mods electric cars are no good, maybe hybrids are worrhthile

I’ve put 8,900 miles on my hybrid RAV4 Limited since driving it off the showroom two months ago. I took a long 7,000 mile trip and averaged around 43 mpg. I go for max efficiency and so I drive it in Eco Mode nearly all of the time and use EV mode as often as possible. So far, I have seriously enjoyed the car and have found little to be annoyed about!

@@Gopinathk17 Update: the odometer is presently showing about 12,000 elapsed miles since purchase in mid-August of this year. Everything seems to work well in Eco mode. In fact, I’ve enabled one of the available environmental controls labeled “Eco heat/cool” continuously in both summer and winter and I find that there’s plenty of heating and cooling capacity to keep the cabin very comfortable. Regarding the engine/electric hybrid power train, the car’s acceleration in Eco mode forces me back into the seat very nicely when merging into traffic. There’s no complaint from me in this regard. All in all, this compact SUV is one nice little Swiss Army Knife of a car! Hope this helps.

According to the speed, there is a blue line creeping up, your foot must bring the green line just at the end of the blue line (ideal) or just left to its end (not as far left as possible. For coasting, if you can just put the foot on the accelator a little bit, just the force needed to charge the battery, you get more coasting distance. Rav4Prime driver from Germany.

Corolla 2022 HE owner here, cruising score: is quite easy to get it high as long as yo maintain a bell curve from start to stop nor a roller coaster type of driving which will happen with moderate traffic or in hilly terrain. Acceleration: I've notice that the higher score is obtained when you accelerate close to the pwr zone although it may seem counterintuitive because the ICE kicks in sooner but that way I've obtain the 5 bars, the fun part is that you really get that torque from the motor and a almost exciting acceleration the doubtful part is that mpg meter has gone lower while applying this technique but dunno if it's caused by it or maybe other factor like the tire psi which I haven't check in 3 months. Braking: this is the hardest for me beacuse I always begin braking long before get fully stopped however if you don't calculate this well I end up pressing more the pedal in the last meters and this is penalized by the score meter on the other hand sometimes I begin pressing a bit more the pedal at the beginning of the deceleration but just too much pressing the pedal and again this is penalized, so my best result is pressing a little bit and getting the longest distance possible before coming to a full stop without pressing the pedal too much. Then you have the B gear which helps when driving above 30miles per hour or on steep decends but unsure of its efficiency to produce electricity so far

Not sure how powerful EV system in rav4, but Prius can go on highway in EV on downhills even on flat for a little. That is making your highway mpg higher. But always look at your rear view mirror, don’t create traffic. Not all people concern about mpg.

Pretend you have an egg under your foot at all times and you’ll get the highest score. That said it is NOT worth the effort to try and get just a few more MPGs versus just driving normal. Do the math and you’ll see your annual savings is chump change. Example 45 mpg vs 40 mpg. 5 mpg difference over say 12k miles is 35 more gallons of gas. For my in GA that’s about $125 or $10 a month. My sanity is worth the extra $10 per month not trying to drive hyper efficiently all the time as well as having to leave earlier because driving slower takes you longer to get places.

Don't drive around in ECO Mode. Drive in Normal Mode. ECO Mode is only for slow moving traffic situations. Best methods of getting higher MPG is to check tyre pressures regularly/use the Climate Controls sparingly/keep windows closed/drive smoothly.
