Toyota RAV4 2008: E10 fuel consumption
Asked by Peter Waddell
Over 2.5 years regularly changing from E10 to regular unleaded in my 2008 Toyota RAV4 I have seen no change in fuel economy running on either fuel. The car does probably 80 per cent highway driving and 20 percent around town driving and its fuel economy is always between 9.4 and 9.6 L/100 km regardless of the fuel used. I don't believe using E10 is costing me any reduction in fuel economy and is saving me about three cents per litre every time I fill up the tank.
