40 in the city. 37 on the highway. 39 combined.
These statistics are eye-catching. Especially when researching potential purchases in the SUV and crossover segments.
The possibility for attaining anywhere close to 40 miles per gallon has probably put 2021 Toyota Venza in the running and near the top of any “my next vehicle” list.
For me, this is definitely true.
I have been driving my new 2021 Venza Limited for just a few weeks now. Funny thing – I actually evaluated a similar 2021 Venza Limited (but with the StarGaze Fixed Panoramic Roof) for a week just before I got mine. I have already fallen in love.
2021 Toyota Venza Review
I will be giving accounts from new owners and their fuel efficiency shortly. But first my impressions of Toyota Venza.
This car is quite comfortable. The first thing you may enjoy is the seats. These are probably the most comfortable and cozy seats I have ever encountered. Good neck, back and lumbar support. Plus, I have made good use of my heated and cooled front seats already.
Heated steering wheel is “handier” than I expected. Never thought I would use this feature, but it is nice.
I have read reviews from other sources about some road or wind or tire noise. I just do not feel this is a problem. Call me crazy.
For me, the car is relatively quiet, and I just do not notice these as much.
Other new owner accounts describe Venza Hybrid (and its really cool features) just as I do. The best vehicle they have ever owned. I thought I would miss my 2018 Camry more, but Venza has already replaced it in my heart.
2021 Venza MPG
The best way to find out how a vehicle drives in the real world is by asking the people who drive them.
This is one reason I always look at movie audience reviews versus movie critics. Movie critics seem to look for flaws in a movie and point out every single one. People like me write about the entertainment value. That is what I want.
Same thing goes for 2021 Toyota Venza.
Time to see how new owners are doing at the pump.
Robert commented. “I love the looks, the ride and the mileage (38.7 mpg in mixed city/highway).”
“So far, I’ve been impressed with an avg. of 38 MPG and that’s driving with a lead foot.” Said George.

Breanne is happy with her new purchase. “I got the XLE a month ago. I love it. I average 37 mpg.”
Al is seeing a wide range of results. “30mpg was the lowest before refilling and 50.5mpg is highest on gas refill. But do not top off. 44 was highest for miles per gallon driving in San Francisco city streets.”
Melanie is seeing less than others. “I am only getting low to mid 30s for mpg so far. Live in Colorado so it’s colder and I do have a lead foot lol.”
Another owner, Michael, commented that he achieved 51.5mpg on a recent trip with an ECO score of 81 out of 100.

“I have mine on ECO mode and am getting around 41 mpg.” Commented Angel.
Interesting feedback. Very interesting.
Time for your thoughts on 2021 Venza
The trick with gas mileage results is that so much about the final figure you see depends on a great many factors.
Weather conditions, temperature, tire pressure, weight you have inside your car, how fast you accelerate, your highway cruising speed, and how much you coast can all affect that all-important mpg number.
I admit I have more of a lead foot than others. I need to use some of my own advice and look at the factors I just wrote about. I am getting in the low 30’s for mpg. Up to 36mpg if I really try.
But I know I can do better. I have all these personal accounts that give me hope for gain.
Do you own a 2021 Venza, and if so, what is your experience with fuel? Do you have any tips that you have used to get optimal gas mileage?
I will use your suggestions for future stories, so I appreciate your feedback.
Thanks for reading everyone. See you next story when I tell you the most difficult Toyota to get these days.

Are you accurately checking the mileage at each fill-up?
That is the best way to check mileage. Also it is good you try to go the same gas pump when you fill up and check your readings.
I have 7K miles and rarely get 37 mpg. It is mostly 33-35 mpg. Very disappointing.
I know someone else you get the same milage. Toyota needs to hear from us on this.
Your points are well taken .

Your points are well taken . Are use of our 2021 Venza hybrid is primarily for vacations, and mostly out of state. This makes it hard to return the same gas pumps.
All I know is by me keeping statistics on the car I’m averaging 39.2 that’s mostly done on freeway and highways.. I’ve driven a Prius for my daily commute to my job is currently getting 63 mpg. from my 2017 Prius ECO 2. I have a feather foot on the gas pedal. Comes with experience of driving these type of vehicles over the last 10 years. Hope your results get better and better Don.

Marion and have gone on two long trips and I never got 39 mpg or close to it. I even reset the mpg reading too on thr dash (via steering wheel button) and it stilll showed 33-35 mpg. The history button on the dash where the hvac is shown, the best I ever got was 37.2 but the history bars looked all at around 35 mpg. I maybe should do my own calculation by my gasoline fillups. Still very disappointed!

Just been on another trip to Edgewood, New Mexico from the central coast of California. Our last trip results are as follows: our overall trip average coming in at 39.5 miles per gallon average. Best 100 mile segment was 56.2 mpg, and worst 100 mile segment was 35.5 mpg average. We used up 44.125 gallons of regular unleaded fuel, covering 1,748 miles. From Ventura, CA to Edgewood, New Mexico then returning back from Edgewood, New Mexico back to Ventura, CA. Our fuel bill was $182.00 for this round-trip. Get paid by most of this gas in Autoport at my local Navy base, in Arizona and New Mexico. Average cost per gallon was $4.17. Cheaper than airfare by far.
Hope this helps bring perspective – We drive a 2021 Toyota Venza XL with currently 1,457 total miles on it.
