Subaru Forester Fuel Economy Tips

Forester FB25 fuel economy: official WLTP about 13–14 km/L; real Malaysia driving 10–12 km/L typical; FB25 naturally aspirated is efficient when driven smoothly; short trips and heavy traffic reduce to 8–9 km/L
Forester AWD fuel cost: Subaru AWD uses more fuel than FWD equivalent; AWD transfer case always engaged; on highway at constant speed, AWD overhead is minimal; city stop-start is where AWD overhead is most felt
Forester e-Boxer fuel saving: e-Boxer XV/Forester recaptures braking energy; at low speed and parking, electric motor supplements FB16/FB20; real-world fuel saving is 8–12% over non-hybrid equivalent in urban driving
Forester economy driving tips: maintain tyre pressure at recommended (typically 33–35 PSI front, 33 PSI rear); use cruise control on highway; avoid aggressive acceleration from stops; keep engine RPM below 2500 for cruising; remove roof racks when not in use — drag reduces fuel economy
