Bouncer Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I don't know the background on it ie if it's been mapped for vpower ect, I don't fill tanks I just put in what I need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 You're meant to run it on high octane fuels like the Vpower it's better for the car really but the ECU will learn that you are putting in lower octane fuel :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash007ks Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 If you check the handbook for a Subaru it states only use 97 RON + as the ECU struggles to cope with normal unleaded and can cause nasty repair bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I know a couple of Subaru drivers that only run it on 95 they haven't had a problem. But there cars feel really flat and take an age to boost or feels like it maybe it's me. But high octane is all I will use anyway :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncer Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 If you check the handbook for a Subaru it states only use 97 RON I would if I had one.....doesn't matter now, I've got more serious !Removed! to deal with....see other post......car may well get scraped out sold for spares THIS time....see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 running on Vpower will return larger mpg as well as good response - worth the extra money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Its a trade off - more money spent initially but travel further with a smoother more responsive engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
