Hi,
I thought I would just add about a trip I just did with my sister and mom. We just drove from Colorado Sprngs, CO to Grand Rapids, MI with her 09 impreza loaded to the gills! I had stuff almost falling on me in the back seat (moving).
Here is the stats for the trip:
22,000k on car with original air filter.
1200 miles for the trip, over 800 miles at 76-79mph
Used AC the entire time, sometimes on the second setting.
We averaged 31.7mpg.
Used 91 unleaded.
I'm really not sure how we did so good with our mpg average because I was the only one trying to save gas, they just wanted to get home.

In the Springs my sister would drive 15 miles round trip to work half highway, half city and would average 26mpg on 91 unleaded because of the high altitude and 85 or 89 wasn't running good.
