Could be a number of things. Best bet would be to check for error codes. Go under your steering column and look for 2 black connectors. Plug them in and let us know what code you get.

Scroll down to the section on Classic Imprezas:-

Manually Reading ECU Codes (Classic Impreza’s only)

...And for resetting The ECU (once again scroll down to the Classic section):-

Classic (JECS) ECU Reset

I had this happen with my classic 00 when I regularly used 95 RON. I now use 97 RON and have done for about the last 10 fills and no light has come on.
