    My Rav4 towing a boat at around the same average speed as my 80series landcruiser towing same weight trailer (10kph over limit on flat,as fast as possible uphill) the Rav is cheaper by quite a margin even with lots and lots of full throttle.(I will happily have it flat to the floor at 5500rpm/90-100kph all the way up a hill)

    Early Rav4s are not known for economy but I drive mine like I stole it and it is so much cheaper than my 80series its not funny plus I dont have to buy Diesel tax road users.
