   Correction.. The 2 litre engines are usually turbocharged   
   as well and have fairly high HP (250), but the Ford 2.4 litre   
   engine that is not turbocharged puts out about 140 HP compared   
   to my 1.5 liter engine's 180 HP..   
      
   AA>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 is usually about that or a little better when the computer   
   actually checks it but, in theory, I should be able to get as   
   high as 7.8L/100km.. Mixed Highway/City is supposed to be 9.1.   
      
   Yes, winter gas especially, and most gas year round contains   
   ethanol and the only benefit of that in winter is you never   
   get frozen fuel lines. The rest of the year it's a scam to   
   employ farmers who grow any of several crops used in making   
   ethanol but, if you put 10% ethanol in the gas, your fuel   
   economy drops by 10%.   
      
   AA>Mine has just squeezed past 145K km since 2007.   
      
   The high miles used to worry me, having grown up back when   
   most engines didn't last much longer than 160K km, but one   
   of the Neons I bought had 175K on it which worried me a bit   
   until I looked into it and most if properly cared for were   
   good for 250K to 300K km..  (300K = 186,000 miles)   
      
   AA>Most of the Escapes I see at the local dealer are all 1.5L.   
      
   If they stand up as well as claimed it seems a good engine for   
   general use, although if I were pulling heavy trailers or something   
   I'd want a bigger engine not turbcharged.
