That is great news. It's very well documented here that milage improves after break-in. You probably have 27-28mpg averages to look forward to.

16-18 in the winter (COLD starts), 20-21 in the summer (very little AC usage). I have a roof rack on in the summer.
 
These numbers are for exclusively city driving, including lots of short hops.
 
2 summers ago I drove from Anchorage to Seattle with the cruise control at 90 most of the way, then back up to Anchorage from Denver. I got 24-25 MPG with my mountain bike on top of the car.

2006 Outback LL Bean Wagon H6
5600 miles so far.
Average MPG is 16.73855 after 28 tanks of gas. That also includes mixing between premium and 89 grade gas. Mostly premium though.
 
Worst mileage = 13.31
Best mileage = 23.14 (on 48HRS run)
 
My driving is a mixture between highway/city with LOTS of stop and go.
 
Hoping for some improvement as the engine gets more broken in.

You should see an improvement, she's still very green. My mileage did not reach it's peak until 15k miles.

That's what I figure. I've also started driving a bit more conservatively. Also just keep the AT in "regular" drive. I noticed a mileage improvement from when I kept it in Sport mode (although not as much fun). Hopefully, in a few years, Subaru will have a 6MT H6.

Just returned from a trip to Gatlinburg from Cincinnati...
 
31.5 mpg. actual overall including a trip to Clingman's Dome in the mountains. 34.5 mpg on the road at 65-70 mph. I am a bit surprised at these numbers but they are real.... and I expect they will improve a bit(only 2200 miles on the car) The mileage drops significantly when having fun with the sportshift... :-0 oh well.....
