   My Rav4 is 2.4L.  I think I would miss that size. Factory     
   mileage has been pretty consistent between 10L/100km and 9L/    
   100km.   Winter driving and winter fuel grade is dragging it     
   down to 12L/100km though.   
      
   Mine has just squeezed past 145K km since 2007.   
      
   Most of the Escapes I see at the local dealer are all 1.5L.
