We just got ours on Saturday. I picked it up in Sacramento wtih 29 miles on it, drove it up over Donner Summit to Reno (running 70-75 the whole way, mostly 3rd gear so it wouldn't hunt between 3-4 so much), coasted down the other side, and drove around town a bit today. First fillup (7 gal) got 21 mpg (hand calculated), about 1/2 mpg lower than the meter.
Today, we drove back over the hill to pick up my WRX so I could head back to San Jose (for work) and I was running 70-75 most of the way and saw 25.5 on the meter by the time we got to the dealer. I'll ask her what it says now that she got back to Reno. It should have around 400 miles on it now total.
It's worth noting that our 2.5X automatic is getting just about identical mileage to my 08 WRX 5sp, which is good. I've been averaging 20-22 in town (some freeway) and 29-30 on the freeway. These are all hand-calculated numbers. I'm pretty impressed, since that's running 70-80 most of the time.
