Can anyone tell me the MPG they get with later model Foresters? I'm considering getting another car. Thanks.

My 99 is always around 25 in my mixed city and freeway driving. Some do a bit better and some do a bit worse. You can do a search here as I am sure there are several threads on this.

2004XS 5sp 39K 25-34....usually 25-30 in Winter.....29-34 in Summer

 

Worst tank..only once......24......Short Short runs....barely letting it get warm.....Best Subaru I've owned to date for mileage and problems (none)

 

My 2002 Forester L 5sp......18-25.....I never got above 25 with that car....and that did have engine and emissions problems (Bad Bad Piston slap Hours after warmup that Subaru deemed normal) and 7 defective front oxygen sensors....traded it at 58K.

 

I've owned 6 Subaru's since 1978....all purchased new...all 5 speeds. The 04 Forester has been the Best to date, followed by my 90 Legacy LS wagon. (had 187K on it when it was totaled). Worst was that 02 Forester. Was just a defective vehicle as my neighbor has an 02 automatic and has been problem free. But they say that they get 19-23 mpg.

I have an '03 Forester, auto trans, that gets about 22 mpg. This is in Southern CA.
