I just broke the 30mpg barrier with my 2001 Outback 2.5 with the 4at. Done by using country roads with limits of 45 mph (I'm usually doing 35-45 or about 1500 rpm is my target) and using techniques like letting off gas a little to get auto to up shift and coasting in neutral, air up the tires too, I run mine at 42 psi (45 is max for my tire). My commute is usually during low traffic hours so I don't have to worry about other drivers all that much.
