So what did you expect from a 3.6l Outback? I have the 2.5 version (without the Eye-sight thingamajig) and I get above 35mpg on a long run with the cruise control set at about 80mph. Personally I wouldn't want all those gadgets that you mentioned as I was loaned a new Impreza that was equipped with these gadgets and I found them to be quite intrusive, but saying that I was taught to drive my car and not be driven by it. By the way, I live in the Swiss Alps so I do appreciate the ground clearance in deep snow and its all wheel drive system.
