I'm a WRX driver myself. Mine has the short throw kit and the round titanium shift knob you can get through SPT. Gas mileage varies considerably depending on your driving style. On the highway, you're going to get 27mpg, or thereabouts. With the short throw kit, the car is an absolute blast to drive, doubly so when it's slippery out. The car eats snowy roads like nothing else I've ever driven.
Trust me: the short throw kit completely remedies the shifting issues. Night and day.

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
