Should we interpret, by comparing the mileage of your vehicles, that you like the RAV4 more? If we assume your Venza is equipped with the V6 engine, then energy-wise, the RAV4 is by far the more eco-friendly choice. Additionally, the market value of your Venza is higher than that of your RAV4.
If you loved your Rogue and were thinking about getting another one, the Mitsubishi Outlander is probably the best choice. Both vehicles are technically identical. Well almost. Additionally, Mitsubishi offers a more generous warranty than Nissan and all the other manufacturers you mention. The RAV4 also represents a safe value.

This feature, called “automatic shutdown when stopping,” first appeared on hybrid vehicles. It has since become widespread on other vehicles and, good news, it is available in Canada. This technology makes it possible to reduce fuel consumption in the same way, for example, as a cylinder deactivation system. This device leads to a reduction in fuel consumption and polluting emissions. In fact, this automatic cut-off device when stopping can reduce a vehicle’s consumption by up to 8% in certain road conditions, according to the latest study by the Society of Automotive Engineering (SAE).
