How much gas does a 2018 Subaru Forester hold?

In short, the 2018 Subaru Forester has a fuel tank capacity of 16.9 gallons (about 64 liters).


Fuel tank capacity across the 2018 Forester lineup


The capacity is consistent across most trims for that model year, providing a uniform fuel-loading capability whether you’re driving the base model or a higher-level version. Subaru lists 16.9 gallons as the standard tank size for the 2018 Forester.


What that means for driving range


Actual range depends on engine choice and driving conditions. With the common 2.5-liter engine and EPA ratings around 26 mpg city / 32 mpg highway / 28 mpg combined, a full tank could yield roughly 439 miles in city driving, about 541 miles on the highway, or around 473 miles under mixed driving. Some turbo XT trims may have lower fuel economy figures, which would reduce the estimated range accordingly.


Summary


The Forester’s 16.9-gallon tank provides several hundred miles of driving between fills, with exact range varying by engine choice, driving style, and road conditions. Always check your specific trim’s official specifications for precise figures.
