   I mostly drive in my little town and get around 18 MPG in a 2011 RAV4. I drove   
   to work on the other side of the mountain and got 30 MPG. I typically get 27   
   MPG when I drive to work. The main difference was that I didn't use the AC.   
   Having the temperature    
   in the low 70's and no passengers and no stopping probably helps.
