Thanks. You're probably right. I have less than 3,000km on the odometer. Hopefully I get some improvements after. The Rav4 is a weekend vehicle that my wife sometimes uses for errands. I put about 100km or less per week on this vehicle. It might take a while to get some kilometers on the odometer.
I love this site. My main focus is to improve the fuel consumption of my daily driver with is a 2006 Corolla with Automatic Transmission. I'm already inflating the tires on the Corolla to the max pressure on the sidewall and installing the original grill that came with the car (more aerodynamic than the Altis grill with vertical lines that's on there now). I have already removed the mudguards last week. I have low rolling resistance tires on the corolla already. 215/45/17 Yokohama Avid Envigor. Vehicle is lowered with Eibach Pro Kit springs.
By the way, looks like you're doing well with the intrepid. That's nice. These vehicles are not known for great fuel economy. What have you done to your vehicle?
