Yeah, mine is the 4AT, which absolutely sucks. Realistically my average In the city isn't horrible, (around 22 if I baby it and use slight hypermiling techniques like shifting to nuetral). Considering that most of the speed limits around where I live are 35-40mph, I can usually keep my car under about 1500rpm in the city with it being in fourth gear. But as soon as I get above 60 my mpg goes down a bit, and 70mph it's just horrible. Where it's only a four speed it struggles at about 3000rpm on the highway (~65mph) and tends to go up to about 3250-3500 when I go up some of the steeper hills around here.
I went on a small trip today (65 miles) and used a few hypermiling techniques and was able to get 26.7mpg consistently at about 55mph on back roads, but it would drop to about 24mpg on the highway.
My subie is also the 2.5L, and I use plus grade gasoline. (89 octane, I believe). When using regular, my average mpg is usually 1-2mpg less.
