Day 6 of my Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XLE experience is in the books, and now time for a new day and new details.  This, sadly, is the last day of me and my RAV4 being together!

Day 7 sucks because there is so much to love about this vehicle...and I had to go to work...so I could not have one last grand journey with MY vehicle.  I spent the majority of my work day trying to figure out ways to convince Toyota to just let me have the vehicle!

My entire work day passed along, and I could not think of one solid story to convince Toyota to let me have this small SUV.  How do I mask my disappointment about not being able to concoct such a grand tale to whereas no Toyota executive could turn me down?  I play Pokemon Go and see just how far I need to drive until some sort of fuel indicator light pops on!  The weather opted to turn rainy, but this vehicle handle wet conditions just as smoothly as dry conditions.

A drive here, a Pokemon there, a Pokemon Gym all around, and wallah!  Finally, a low fuel alert pops on the dash.

The low fuel alert on the dash was short lived because the navigation panel touch screen gave an even bigger alert!  There is not a way you don't know that you need fuel!  To make the panel even sweeter is that is ask you if you would like it to find you the nearest gas stations!!!  Swag dear sir...that is swag!

I did not need my RAV4 to navigate me to a nearby gas station because this is my area, and I knew several to go to.  You know I pressed "Yes" on that panel anyway though!  Check my video below to see what happens when you do press the panel.

I pulled up to the pump and decided to see if $5 would be considered gas money in this vehicle.  The gas release panel switch is on the left side of the driver's seat, so I put in the $5 worth of regular unleaded to run my experiment.  I love that this small SUV takes regular gas instead of premium, so you are saving even more with the hybrid.

To my surprise, a tad bit over 2 and a half gallons of gasoline, $5 worth of gas, actually pushed the needle past the quarter mark on the fuel gauge!  $5 could actually be gas money, but don't allow anyone to offer you less than $10!

All in all, this vehicle is luxury mixed with economy.  I love all the safety features as well as the sound system in the RAV4.  The fuel mileage is a great added bonus.  You are certain to get 30+ mpg out of this comfy and smooth riding vehicle.

Head out to your local Toyota dealer and take a look at this beauty and ask for a test drive!

Day 5 of my Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XLE experience is in the books, and now time for a new day and new details.

 Day 6 started off like no other days in my RAV4 experience.  The day was dry and sunny.  Why did it take all those days to finally have a dry and sunny day?  Simply put, it was sunny and dry because I had to go to work!

Not being discouraged that I would not get to spend a lot of time with my RAV4, I started off my day by going from Spring, TX to The Woodlands, TX.

After getting my errands done in The Woodlands, I headed to old Town Spring and played Pokemon Go.  Do not judge me!  I am a proud member of Team Valor!  Pokemon Go consisted of me riding in essentially a squared circle, spinning Pokestops, battling Pokemon gyms and capturing Pokemon along the way.  If you look at the image below, every blue dot is a Pokestop that gives me more items to capture Pokemon and battle gyms.

After at least 40 minutes of Pokemon goodness, it was time to head deeper into Spring and get home so I can get ready for work.  One more stop needed to be made, and that was to the grocery store.  This detour away from the abode was productive and necessary.  I had several bags of groceries, which were placed in the back of the RAV4.  It was then that I realized that I had much room to place many more things in the back with those groceries.

I finally make it home, get in the mindset of having to go to work and finally get going to work.  I took my drive time to reflect on the generosity that Toyota has given me thus far, and I could only smile and I headed to work.

Many hours later, I am finally freed from my occupational confinement, and I head home while carefully playing Pokemon Go in route.  When home, I noticed that I have been driving my RAV 4 Hybrid XLE for 6 days and have yet to put gas in the vehicle.  I wondered to myself if I would be brave enough to drive until a gas warning light pops up...but then I was amazed that I still had a quarter tank of gas left.

Will I cower down and just fill up the vehicle, or will I fight my inner voice and ride the vehicle until some sort of indicator light comes on?  Follow the adventures tomorrow to find out.
