My hope is that Toyota/Subaru notice the distress that the poor manual highway fuel economy is causing, and that they adjust the gear ratios in an update.

You are going to have to downshift to pass a car on the highway or ascend a hill pass anyways. Not sure what the point is either. Isn't like this car is putting out 350-400 torques.
