My wife's 97 OB Spot (Imprezza) with auto trans gets 29-33 mpg for
straight highway driving. I'd guess that the stick could be 2-4 mpg more.
 
I think it should be 2-3 mpg less for a stick:

My math for auto: 4th by final drive 0.694 times 4.11 = 2.85

whereas for 5sp: 5th by 0.78 is 3.042

if I did my math correctly. I'm sure there are people in this group who
can either
pull the correct specs for 98 or correct my math if I used the right
ratios after all,
but miscalculated the ratio between the engine and the axle (or
whatever is
that being driven in a Sub).

A stick is NOT a means to save on gas. It is a way to have fun with
your Sub.
Or it was until some bright bulb lenthened 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears
during
the transition to the 2.5 liter engine.
