What is the fuel consumption of the Subaru Forester?

Forester fuel consumption owner average fuel consumption: 6.3~13.0 liters per 100 kilometers. Introduction to constant-speed fuel consumption: Constant-speed fuel consumption is the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in the constant-speed driving fuel consumption test specified by national standards for certain types of vehicles. Constant-speed fuel consumption test: The test can be conducted on the road or on a chassis dynamometer, and then the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is calculated using the "flow meter method" or "carbon balance method." The fuel consumption test method for passenger cars adopts speeds of 90 kilometers per hour and 120 kilometers per hour; the fuel consumption test method for commercial vehicles starts at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, with speeds selected uniformly in integer multiples of 10 km/h, up to 90% of the maximum speed, and at least 5 test speeds are measured. During road tests, it is necessary to follow the national standards for test conditions, test methods, test road selection, etc.
I've been driving a Subaru Forester in the city for three years, with fuel consumption generally between 8 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers, depending mainly on road conditions and driving habits. During severe traffic jams, like rush hours in the morning and evening, the fuel consumption might jump to over 11 liters, but on the highway, it can drop to around 6 liters, which is quite fuel-efficient. I feel that the Forester, as an SUV, does a decent job in fuel consumption control, not as thirsty as some older models. For daily driving, it's advisable to maintain normal tire pressure and avoid hard acceleration or sudden braking to save some fuel costs. Additionally, regular maintenance like oil changes and air filter replacements can affect fuel consumption. I notice slightly higher fuel consumption when using the heater in winter, about 0.5 liters more. Real fuel consumption varies from person to person, and my experience is to keep track of the fuel gauge changes to find the most suitable driving style.
