Fuel economy in context
Among the 4 hybrids tracked here, EPA combined ratings run from 37 to 57 MPG, averaging 43.3 MPG.
At 39 MPG combined, the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid lands in the middle of the group, 18 MPG behind the class leading Toyota Prius and 2 MPG ahead of the Ford Maverick Hybrid.
Hybrids handle stop and go traffic far better than a conventional gasoline vehicle, since the engine can shut off at a stop and regenerative braking recovers energy that would otherwise be lost as heat. That means a hybrid's real world city driving often tracks its EPA rating more closely than a gasoline only vehicle's does. The advantage shrinks at sustained highway speed, where there is little opportunity to brake and regenerate, which is why highway ratings in this category tend to sit below the city rating rather than above it as they do for gasoline vehicles.
Its own EPA numbers show the opposite of a typical gasoline vehicle: 41 in the city tops 38 on the highway by 3 MPG, the signature pattern for a hybrid or electric powertrain, since regenerative braking recovers the most energy in stop and go driving.
EPA's annual fuel cost estimate for the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid assumes 15,000 miles of driving a year at its 39 MPG combined rating, priced at EPA's own assumed national average fuel cost, working out to about $1,550 a year, or roughly $129 a month for an average driver. That works out to roughly 1,033 gallons a year at EPA's assumed price, though your own annual cost will differ based on how many miles you actually drive and the fuel price where you live, which is exactly what the calculator above lets you adjust.
Where hybrids shine
The wide spread of combined ratings in this category, from a compact hybrid hatchback in the high 50s to a hybrid pickup in the high 30s, reflects vehicle size and body style as much as the hybrid system itself. Hybrids shine brightest in city and suburban driving with frequent stops, and their efficiency edge over a similar gasoline model narrows on long highway trips.

Frequently asked questions
Among the 4 hybrids tracked on this site, combined ratings run from 37 to 57 MPG. The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid's own 39 MPG combined rating falls within that typical range, though what counts as "good" ultimately depends on what you're cross shopping it against.

Combined is a weighted average of the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid's separate city and highway EPA test results, typically weighted about 55% city and 45% highway to represent a realistic mix of driving. Its own EPA numbers show the opposite of a typical gasoline vehicle: 41 in the city tops 38 on the highway by 3 MPG, the signature pattern for a hybrid or electric powertrain, since regenerative braking recovers the most energy in stop and go driving.
The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is rated at 224 grams of CO2 per mile. This figure is calculated directly from the fuel consumed during EPA's test cycles, so a vehicle's CO2 rating and its fuel economy rating always move together: better fuel economy means lower emissions per mile, one to one.
At its 39 MPG combined rating, the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid would need roughly 12.8 gallons to cover 500 miles, which at a placeholder price of $1.50 per gallon works out to about $19. Use the calculator above with your own trip distance and local fuel price for a precise figure.
No, the EPA rating shown here is fixed to this specific model year and trim; it doesn't change as the model ages or as newer model years are released. This site's figures were last confirmed against official EPA data on 2026-07-23, and a vehicle's own individual real-world fuel economy can still drift over its life due to wear, tire condition, and maintenance history, separate from the fixed EPA number.
