2002 Subaru Forester Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2003 4dr SUV 165-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed automatic AWD		 21mpg is about all you can expect. AWD is partially to blame, as is the relatively inefficient boxer engine. see full Subaru Forester review
2002 4dr SUV 165-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed automatic AWD		 Inexcusable for a vehicle with so little room and luxury. see full Subaru Forester review
