Suby's... I'm not sure, shouldn't be too bad, for a used one anyway. 20ish grand, can't be anywhere near the Suburu WRX which is around 30 new, so their new wagons (dubbed, sport wagons, which are actually good enough looking that they don't look like total station wagons) should be in the mid-upper 20's. Find maybe a 2004 used one, and check it. Do a KBB on a wagon. Believe it or not but SCC magazine did a review on one of their wagons for a track car on sunday, family hauler on monday thing and it scored the highest and stuff.

You'd probably get much better mileage in more longer drives. You're doing probably a lot more city driving for getting stuff. It's really hard in larger vehicles to see any improvement in city driving, but in highway you can see a large difference. I run low 20's and it's hard to shake it, I could probably do mids and uppers if I didn't have to factor in city with highway combined. You're not doing bad at all, On longer drives my mileage goes up, but stop and go is horrible.
