Car Forum / Subaru Cars / August 2006Regular gas in 2007 Forester 2.5 XT?
The Consumer Reports article for July, 2006, states "regular" for the Forester 2.5 XT fuel requirement. Is this correct? Thought it had to be 91 octane Premium? Thanks. definitely needs 91 octane except for an absolute emergency. Consumers reports often list the info for the base version even when they test the HO version. I did not read the article though and am surprised they made such a mistake as premium is usual listed as a con or negative. > The Consumer Reports article for July, 2006, states "regular" for > the Forester 2.5 XT fuel requirement. > > Is this correct?

I went to a dealer, to get the 2007 Forester booklet, but, they didn't have one, so, I downloaded and printed it from Subaru.com, and, it states 87 octane for all but the XT, and, 91 octane for the XT. I'm in Colorado, and, while 85 IS regular, neither 87 nor 91 are, and, I smell something fishy. Will write CR and see what they say... > definitely needs 91 octane except for an absolute emergency.

CR made a mistake. Steve > Will write CR and see what they say... >> definitely needs 91 octane except for an absolute emergency.

Salesman told me yesterday that the '07s would be out on Sept 15th. I assume he means all models. .. |
