I pulled the cross rails off my roof rack, and it helped a bit.

Looking at some of the other posts here, I would look for a legacy or outback, just because of the bad MPG that is being talked about.

Yea the shape of the Forester is kind of like a tissue box with wheels.Looking at some of the other posts here, I would look for a legacy or outback, just because of the bad MPG that is being talked about.
You will get better MPG with legacy or outback.
