Subaru mileage revisited...transmission trouble?

To recap: my 98 Legacy wagon was getting a whopping 20 mpg on the highway.
I replaced the worn OEM tires with a set of Nokian WRs (so far so good, in the rain I can't even tell there's water on the pavement) and have seen a consistent 1.5 mpg increase. Replacing the air & fuel filters didn't have any effect but was overdue.
So, I'm up to 21.5 mpg. This week I'll get the differentials and transmission flushed and refilled - I"m not sure if this was ever done on the car! Ah, the adventures of used car ownership.
The car has always had a fairly hard shift from 2-3, but today I really noticed it revving high in between shifts with maybe 1/3 throttle. Any ideas what this means? I'm hoping a fluid flush will help with this...
Mysteriously, the driver's side power door lock has started working again. The driver's side woofer is dead, and I think Xmas will see new front speakers and an amp under the passenger seat.
