My Rav4 is 2.4L.  I think I would miss that size. Factory  
mileage has been pretty consistent between 10L/100km and 9L/ 
100km.   Winter driving and winter fuel grade is dragging it  
down to 12L/100km though.

Mine has just squeezed past 145K km since 2007.

Most of the Escapes I see at the local dealer are all 1.5L.
