I have a couple of Subarus and have worked on them quite extensively so I know what you are talking about.Usually the mileage should go up if you are just crusing.
A lot of what you are describing could be the result of just bad gas or if it is really cold then your engine will use up more fuel to compensate for the extra condensed air.
Did you try changing your fuel filter? Cuz that makes a difference also.
Another would be to put some injector cleaner in the system and see if that helps.
Check the air filter and see if it is clean or not.
Have you replaced old fluids like gear oil, transmission oil?
Is your Mass Air Flow(MAF) working correctly?
Just some areas worth checking out. But definitely the fuel filter makes a difference. I replace mine every 15k on my car even though Subaru recommends every 30k.
