I found this interesting, so I tried with my 02 Outback H6 VDC Sedan. I was
doing 83 mph @ 3000 rpm. Quite exciting.

98 outback with manual transmission... Gearing puts me around 65mph at
3000rpm. In my wife's 03 outback with auto, it's around 75mpg.

The manual transmissions are known to run at a faster rpm for a given
speed, but on the flip side I usually end up with an extra 4mpg or so
in my 98 compared to our 03.
