Subaru Forester: Fuel economy hints
The following suggestions will help to save fuel.

Always accelerate gently until you reach the desired speed. Then try to maintain that speed for as long as possible.
- Do not pump the accelerator and avoid racing the engine.
- Avoid unnecessary engine idling.
- Keep the engine properly tuned.

- Keep the front and rear wheels in proper alignment.
- Avoid carrying unnecessary luggage or cargo.
