What are some reliable, fuel-economical sport wagons or SUV's?

I have a Subaru Forester, which is great since it has all wheel drive--I need this since I live out in the country and it snows a lot up here for 3 months.

However, my Subaru only gets 22-23 mpg on the highway (or less!) and about 16-17 in the city. it is a 1998 with 130,000 miles on it.

Any suggestions? Wagons, SUV, hatchbacks will all be considered as long as they are not too cramped in the front and rear seats. I like having a cargo area.
Great answers so far! Thanks. I do have a budget, though. Needs to be $5000 or less. so, it will have to be a few years old I guess :)
