I don't have a Forester but the Outback has, AFAIK, the same drivetrain and
similar weight and frontal area. I can say that my 2008 Outback basic 2.5
with auto has gotten an average of 26.7mpg over the past 4500 miles and can
get between 29.5 and 30mpg on the highway. The highway mileage is basically
all on cruise control and holding right about the speed limit, 55-70mph.

My '03 Forester gets 21-23 mpg local trips and 30 highway. Wife's '08
about the same.

I have a 2010 Forester automatic with about 1500 miles on it, so far my
mileage has been between 26 and 27.5 with about 75% highway ( 75 mph) and
25% local ( 25-45 mph). I did drive 40 miles at around 55 and saw 30 mpg on
the dash before I lost patience and stepped on the gas
Almost all this was with the A/C on, it's been hot and I like it cool.
I'm happy with the mileage so far and it might even improve as it breaks in
a bit more.
