Driving home from work. Hit some type of debris in road heard a loud noise immediately smelled gasoline gas tank had a large hole in it. Concerned that there is no protection whatever for gas tank.it is just there under the driver seat. Seems like there should be a skid plate or some sort of protection from rupture.

I purchased my 2011 Rav4 on 10/19/10, with 3 miles on the odometer. As of 1/31/11 the odometer now reads 2605 miles. After driving the vehicle for 1 week I noticed that the gas consumption was very high. I drove the vehicle to harrisburg, pa which is only 120 miles from my home in philadelphia, pa and burned a full tank of gas upon my return home. The vehicle is suppose to get 28 mpg on the highway which equals to 420 miles on a 15 gallon tank. Also, I have a 24 mile roundtrip commute each day and by the end of the week my tank is almost empty. I took the car into the dealership to service the complaint but was told, as I suspected, that nothing was wrong. I am filling the tank up on average every 4 days. I also notice that as I am driving, the fuel gauge needle is moving downward. No one seems to take my complaint seriously and I am always fed the story of how well made and sophisticated that the engine and components are. I have been purchasing Toyota certified used vehicles for the past 20 years and have never had any complaints. This is my first brand new vehicle and I am regretting purchasing it. I want this matter thoroughly investigated but I am always told the same thing. I am not a mathematician but I can count and my 2011 Rav4 gas mileage is horrendous.
