Owner's description

I believe Toyota is falsifying the MPG rating to make it appear they are getting better gas mileage than they are actually getting. On a new Toyota Rav4 bought last year, the speedometer always reads 3 miles faster that my actual speed. This is confirmed by my stand-alone GPS unit and my iPhone as well. I have since checked out other new Toyotas and found the same error. This error favors Toyota because if make the onboard computer report that you are achieving better MPG that you are. This error is also recording more fictitious miles driven, on your car, than you actually have driven and causing you to get servicing sooner as well as running out your warranty quicker than it should. However, I have since traded in this vehicle for a different vehicle that I feel is more honest and accurate with their information.
