9-5 aero wagon fuel economy?

This GM discount thing has me seriously thinking about a new 9-5 aero wagon. I'm wondering what I can expect in terms of real-world fuel economy. I had a 1985 C900T (5spd) that was consistently in the 25-30 mpg range with a few long trips in the low 30's (and that was at 80+ mph!). I now drive a 2001 Subaru Outback (2.5 non-turbo) and I've been pretty disappointed with the fuel economy - it never gets out of the low 20's (city , highway, whatever - of course that my be related to the gearing - 80 mph is close to 4000 rpm). I've already tested the new turbo Outback and that was pretty sweet in terms of power but I suspect the gas mileage will be even lower than the model I have now.
