When I drove Snowstormers wagon out to Montana, I got 420 miles on a tank driving through Western Montana and it was not empty when I filled up. I figured 35mpg easy, maybe more. That's by far the best mileage I've ever got from a Soob.

My parents claim that when their 87 carbed 4wd wagon was new, they got 40-45 mpg cruising the highways in Oregon.

 

One time when the little orange light came on while I was still 50 miles out from any civilization, I managed over 50 mpg. More downhill than up, but no coasting.

With the same car as yours, only with a 4EAT (cuts the revs down) we averaged 36mpg between Paul's place in Milford and the CT/MA line. It's almost 70 miles, just for the heck of it we filled up at the Mobilgas station on I-95 and again at the Citgo about a mile from home...took something like 1.8 gallons. (The Forester took 3.1. Yuck!) And that was with a rotted muffler and a driver w/ a lead foot (NOT me, I was driving my Forester).
