Default Best fuel for import classic wrx

im currently using shell v power 99 in my 96 wrx wagon, with no problems, are their any other brands that are favoured by the subaru import engines, just thought i'd ask, heard people talk about tesco's unleaded but am wary to be honest.

thanks in advance

Petrol
Your car will be fine on 97+
I ran my old 93 wrx on nearly all the SULs (including supermarket sul) avaliable and the only one that was iffy was BP Ultimate.

thats cool then, shell garage half way between home and work.

thought as much, didnt really want to be sticking additives in to boost octane or anything, car standard at the moment, gonna run it for a few months before i start playing with it, will be getting advice off poeple from here before comencing any work, im handy with a spanner and being an auto electrician i have quadruple jointed elbows and wrists, so things like plug changes should be a breeze
