Though I've never tried it, I have heard that the subaru will "learn" how you drive and that can affect milage. So it has been said that if you unhook the battery for a few minutes to make it "forget" and then drive it normally, it may learn better habits and get better milage.
FWIW, I have a 98 wagon w/159k miles. I get 24-25 on my 12 mile interstate commute. It was lower(20-21) but I found a front caliper that was hanging up a tiny amount. It may be worth checking all four corners for that.
