I get similar numbers out of my Forester, 27 average (dropping now that I am slogging through snow and cold) It will tow 2000lbs (It handles twice that with a little caution). It will drive up a 35 degree slope with snow up to the bumper (not with a trailer I suspect)

I had very mixed feelings about retiring the front wheel drive econobox but I find that I use the greater capacity enough to justify it.
