EPA Rating: 23 City / 30 Highway

We see a lot of Subaru Foresters on the road where I live. They're dependable little SUVs and seem to be able to go pretty much wherever their owners want to take them.

The fuel economy rating for the 4-cylinder Forester with an automatic transmission is 22/28.

You'll take a bigger hit at the gas pumps if you opt for the turbocharged Forester, in part because it requires premium gas. Fuel economy ratings dive too, dropping to 20/23 for the turbo charged automatic and to 19/24 for the turbo model with a manual transmission.
