UK = 95 RON
Import = 97 RON

You'll be fine with 99RON but imo wasting your money unless it gets remapped to use those fuels.

I've used (in my 93wrx) Optimax (now V power),Tescos 97 and 99,Total Excellium (97 iirc), some of the supermarket SULs BUT BP ultimate doesn't seem to go well with Imprezas.

Never had any problems on ¼ tank but I drive quite carefully when on low fuel as my car does tend to enjoy a bit too much

v power is the best but you dont really want to run on any thing less then 97 and i wouldnt put 95 in even on a uk spec car

I used to run my 1995 WRX on Tesco 99 and never had a problem in over 6 years of ownership. It often works out cheaper than lower RON stuff as Tesco's prices are often very competative against rival petrol stations.
