Dazza,

We're all too scared to add it up, so best thing to do is not do it!

If you knew the true cost of subaru ownership, then you might just think twice about it. Like I said just don't add it up, and keep enjoying the car!

rip-off, but the only stuff my car really likes!!!

with a bottle of octane boost per tank for good measure

oh yes!! my car is a '96 import and mapped for 100 ron, so i've never really given it a good full on blat, (it only came to the UK in Feb, when i bought it)

the boost seems to make it a lot more responsive lower in the revs.

i'll probably put it in every other tankful, or before the weekends!!!

works out cheapest to buy it online 10 bottles at a time!! (which i what i'll do next)
Get some funny looks at the petrol station as well

see love, I urgently need a little car so you
can borrow it to go to work... before we can't
afford it anymore...

So, yes I got used to your car and like it now (and all the others) but I'm still not convinced it is worth all this money...

I promise I'll choose an economical car , please...
