I drive 300 miles a day, mostly highway. My speeds are 70-80 mph. I average 23-24 mpg on 87 octane with tire pressures at 40 psi.
Giving up about 10,000 miles on those tires. Gotta factor that into your mileage savings

Took 900 mile road trip last week. 70mph highways was in the 25's.
There was a 90 minute stretch of two lane flat country roads with speed limits between 50 and 60mph. We got to these just after a fill up. At the end of that stretch the dash said 31.5 mpg. Didn't validate that as we reached our hotel at that point and then drove around town for the next five days before heading back home. It was reading 25mpg when headed home.

This was with 3 adults and luggage onboard.

6000km (~3730 miles) on a Badlands, average fuel usage a good mix of country roads, city driving and highway 8.6l/100km (32.8 imperial mpg or 27.3 US mpg). Not bad considering the 2l hp and vehicle shape/weight. My 2016 Forester is doing about 35mpg(imperial)/30mpg(US)

Nice. What method or app do you use to track fuel economy? Or is that the dash reading?

I think the indicated mileage is good for trends. You were getting much better mileage at slower speeds, which makes perfect sense given the boxy shape. Aerodynamics will be the biggest factor at speeds above 70.

After 1000 mile break-in (averaging 22-24 mpg), I drove from Kitsap County (WA) to Orange County (CA). Straight down I5 driving 2-7 miles over the posted speed, which was between 60 and 70 at any given point. My Badlands averaged 28-33 mpg. I made the same trip in January in my 2014 F150 averaging 23 mpg. For those not familiar with his route, the trip takes you from sea level up to Grant’s Pass Oregon (960’) then on to the Siskiyou Pass (4100’) back down to sea level and then back up above the 4000’ level at Tejon Pass (aka the Grapevine). My door to my mom’s was just under 1200 miles. I paid $4.99 for gas in Silverdale, WA. $5.25 for gas in Roseburg, OR and $5.85 for gas in Cypress, CA. Per gallon prices were at Costco Gas. I ran the air on auto all the way. Love my BS BL.

Odometer reads around 7500 miles, about 20% has been highway, the rest around town. I've never reset Trip 1 since I drove the it off the lot last August and have watched the MPG slowly decrease until it finally stabilized a couple of months ago between 22-23mpg. At this very moment it reads 22.3mpg.

For my recent trip from LA to Moab and back (1500 miles) with about 500 additional miles of off-road driving I averaged 26.2mpg.
Sounds just about right for 99% of drivers and conditions.

At 10,000 miles and haven’t seen any improvement. Still about 22.4.
Going to say it's a combination of elevation, stop traffic, and your foot. Most of it your foot. Easy to get better mileage with softer starts and longer smooth runs. 22 isn't crazy it's just the low end of averages.

Key note, most of it under 70...that's a big factor.
Nice thing about the Sport is you can juice the fuel economy if you want to be a slowpoke. The brick shape seems to increase the MPG variability compared to shall we say more aerodynamic vehicles.

All has to be traffic. Driving like grandma and in Eco mode. Just really disappointing. This is 2022, no excuse for vehicles not having better mileage. This car feels like you’re pulling an anchor even when coasting downhill.
