Im not sure what the RAV gets for mileage but what you posted breaks it down to close to 18 miles per gallon. Unfortunate us here in the US dont deal with km, liters, etc.. Anyhow I think the RAV should get closer to 24mpg. My stepdad has a rav and I dont remember him complaining about gas mileage.
I suggest that maybe you should try changing your driving style. Usually when a car gets worse mileage its because the driver is getting up on it and is driving erratically. For example not maintaining a constant speed, jack rabbit starts, etc.
If its a car problem it could be either spark, timing, dirty gas or a dirty air filter. I dont suggest the use of any oil additive. With proper oil changing you dont need that crap. Personally I like Syntec, Ive used it since I bought my MR2 and Ive never had problems with it. Oil thickness can increase or decrease the amount of power of a engine, not like youd really see a dramatic change in power or gas mileage, since oil has different friction characteristics.
You might even want to try shopping for gas someplace else, or trying another octane.
