Apparently CVT equipped models achieve 31 MPG Hwy. Pretty good since the 4 speed only got 26.

CHERRY HILL, N.J., June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Subaru of America today announced the EPA fuel economy results for 2010MY Legacy. The 2010 All-Wheel Drive Legacy achieves up to 26 mpg combined and 31 mpg highway, despite having grown in size in almost every dimension.
Specifically, the Legacy 2.5i CVT now exhibits better fuel economy (EPA combined) than such Front-Wheel competitors such as Honda Accord, Mazda6i, VW Passat and Hyundai Sonata. Furthermore, the new Legacy is now the highest rated midsize AWD sedan (EPA combined) in the U.S. market for 2010MY.
Tim Mahoney, senior vice president and CMO of Subaru of America said, "We are thrilled that the all-new 2010 Legacy not only offers more space and a more rewarding drive than the competition, but it also delivers better fuel economy at a very competitive price."
The Subaru Legacy comes with Subaru's legendary Boxer engine, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, quick-ratio steering and a new double-wishbone suspension system. The 2010 Legacy has an entry-level price of $19,995 (excl. delivery) and will provide an alternative for customers looking for more from the mid-sized sedan segment.

My main concern with the CVT, however, is not mileage, but with annoying CVT driving characteristics like rubber-banding/surging and its potential durability. Nissan has managed to make CVTs that drive and "shift" more or less like normal automatics; it remains to be seen if Subaru also can.

Are you long waisted? I'm only 2" taller than you (and about 15 lbs heavier, but the same size shoes 
), but the last time I tried to get into a Miata, I could barely get my *** below the headrest--there was no way I was making it down to the seat cushion unless I amputated my legs or removed the dashboard. Same problem with the Z3/Z4.
