Heh I guess I shouldn't sweat it either, for people who really want to get that extra 10mpg there's pulse and glide (engine on :P it probably helps that the cam is such that idle fuel consumption should be pretty low).

If the STI version does come with a higher redline however, and they decide to bump up final drive ratios, then we're almost certainly going to be around 350g/kwh cruising which is horrible. I imagine listening to 3500rpm on the highway isn't going to be fun either. Hear this Toyota/Subaru? Do the right thing. Put ~0.6-0.65 6th gear into the car. You know you need it to pass the 39mpg compact vehicle regulations coming up.
