While they may not get as good gas milage as the smaller, more compact cars, many SUVs can be somewhat cheap on gas. It is very cost effective to do research and pick a gas friendly SUV. If you drive 12000 miles a year and you have a sport utility vehicle that gets 15 MPG at $3 a gallon vs 30 MPG at $3 that is a difference of $1200!! Hybrids are definitely the most gas efficient SUVs. Here is a list of my favorite non Hybrid non-gas guzzling SUVs.

In 2003, a turbocharged Forester, the XT, was released alongside the naturally-aspirated X and XS in the United States as a 2004 model, however the same model had been available since the late 1990s elsewhere in the world. The XT model features a 2.5 L turbocharged engine mated with the same Mitsubishi TD04 turbocharger used in the Subaru Impreza WRX. In fact, the engine in the 2004 to 2005 Forester XT is identical to the American market Subaru Impreza WRX STi except for using the smaller TD04 turbocharger from the WRX, a smaller intercooler, different exhaust system, and different engine management programming.
