tanong ko lang pup2... what petrol and brand do you use? recommended ng subaru is 95 ron... pero sabi ng agent... pasado na raw sa tests ang 93 ron. ano ba talaga?

I've used different gas brands on my Impreza: Caltex Gold, Petron XCS, and Petron E10 (when it was still 95 RON). Haven't tried V-Power yet or Blaze only because they're more expensive. Now my tank's filled up with Seaoil Extreme 97. It seems like it performs better than Caltex Gold. Wala nang nginig sa idling so far.

I wouldn't go below 95 Octane. Kung 95 nakalagay sa manual, sundin mo kahit ano sabi ng SA mo dahil baka ma void pa warranty mo.

Pag mura gas, I go with Blaze kasi parang mas matipid siya at mas malakas. Pag mahal, XCS lang.

This is because walang seaoil anywhere near my route kasi highly recommended ng marami ang Extreme nila.

i don't think it will void the warranty naman. Kundi lahat ng SA nila pinagmumura na ng mga tao.

Running with 93 ron seems pretty ok naman. pero try ko din sa next full tank ko yung 95.

pup2 has a valid point. The warranty itself says that it is void if the wrong fuel is used. Baka pag malaki ang damage baka hindi na i-honor ang warranty because you used 93 octane.

Sakli. Not familiar with the manual of the NA's but honestly, if it says 95 RON MINIMUM it's better to be safe than sorry. Seriously. You're driving a chuvaroo and you skimp on less than a hundred bucks?

I'd agree with this. You're risking the engine's performance/condition a few years down the line.

Not saying it WILL do any damage in the long run (who knows, it may not even), but I doubt manufacturers will randomly require higher RON ratings or bump up the required levels to give their cars a "better" or more "upscale" image.

answer me anyone...why does philippines use such a high octane gas? is it true if they say 95 it is 95 octane?? even subaru's here (where I live) only uses 87 octane except for the turbos or the wrx's..the new wrx can use 91 but its preferred 93. why is that? even here 93 is the highest octane rating.

what year and model is your impreza? the thing is, putting a higher octane to whats preferred doesn't do anything in performance. YES it's true..do your research, you're just wasting your money on gas. regular imprezas are cheap, it's an econobox and only runs on 87, except for wrx's or turbos or the legacy GT..

Kimbo, I read somewhere before that the engines for Asia, the Americas, and Europe have slight differences in them. Although the performance thing is mostly true, what we're avoiding is the premature detonations (since you seem to do your research, you should be very familiar with that.). Also, our owner's manual reccomends 95RON and above.

...just saying...

To everyone else, read the whole paragraph re the octane rating in your manual. Our Fozzie's manual says something about above 90RON. check it out.
