    I think their profit margin is pretty slim with the 4 cylinders. Once you get into the v6 is where it starts to beef up. Once you start talking TRD the gravy really starts flowing.

    The crap salesmen try to pull is funny and sad at the same time because people actually buy it The one I used recognized pretty quick that I am a no BS kind of guy and cut the crap, so we went back to him for my girlfriends RAV4.

    So, since I changed all the fluids, I have noticed about a 1.5 mpg drop. Anyone else see the same thing? This is using my ultragauge for mpgs, same drive to and from work.

    Good point that could be the culprit. Previous was an average of 20.1 over the last 1500 ish miles. Now I'm sitting at 18.6 for about the last 300 miles.
