Fuel surge, common on classic impreza's, could also be that your fuel gauge isnt very accurate and you had less fuel than you think, normally happens with 1/2 a tank or less.

I am sure he will take great pleasure driving slower, parking his V8 or V12 Aston on his gravelled drive of his detached estately home and walking into his house with a beautiful wife and steak dinner waiting.

thats of course while you are trying to resolve your fuel starvation problem on here
