2014 Subaru Forester Efficiency
One of the big improvements that came in the 2014 redesign of the Forester was bolstered fuel economy. The base four-cylinder engine returns an impressive 24 mpg city and 32 mpg highway, and the high-performing turbocharged engine still returns 23 mpg city and 28 mpg highway.
