Always use super unleaded your car is set up to run on 100 ron fuel in Japan . The best here is 97 . graham 95 wrx.

When I first got my 95WRX I ran it on a couple of tanks of unleaded but then decided to try super and it made a major difference, alot smoother. As Graham says, Japan has higher octaine and the car is tuned to run on that so I suppose we should probably be running our cars on super plus octaine booster. I haven't tried any octaine boosters yet but it is something I'm definately going to give a go.

Dont use UL only SUL and if you can afford it put in octane booster aswell.
I use millers with SUL and my car runs really smooth with no detonation problems.
Its not a lot for piece of mind
