My '04 FXT sucks back the fuel. I downsized from a full sized dodge pickup to save on fuel, but still have the AWD/offroad capabilities. I'm consistently getting just over 400km/tank in the forester. That sucks IMO. Am I missing something? Its costing me more to drive the forester than it did my truck AND I lost out on all my room for gear, and towing capabilities. When I tow the boat with the forester, I may as well cash in my credit card, its brutal!
The best run I've had was 460km, on 56L of fuel. That was a straight highway run, doing 110km/h on cruise the whole way. In my full size dodge pickup, I'd get over 600km on the same amount of fuel on the highway.......towing my boat and gear.........and have LOTS of room to spare!!!
Don't get me wrong, I love driving the forester. It takes me to some interesting places, down some interesting trails, and to some great fishing holes, but it likes the fuel!! Not only does it get crap mileage, but I'm spending more for the premium fuel as well.
Are there any simple mods I can do to improve my mileage?
Are all the 04 FXT drivers getting similar mileage?
I feel like Im always looking for gas!!
