does subaru outback really need premium fuel?
Hi,
Looking at a second hand car, perhaps something like a 2000 model subaru outback (or any car with 4WD or AWD and is also small and relatively good on fuel AND has good storage space).
On NRMA (Australian roads and motoring authority) website, on a review of the 2000 Subaru Outback H6, they say that it requires PULP, which i assume is premium unleaded petrol. Does this statement mean that i would be shortening the life of the car or ruining its performance by just filling it with regular unleaded petrol??
Yep, use what the owner’s manual calls for. Furthermore, if it calls for premium, you’ll likely get more miles per gallon on that than on regular fuel. That helps offset the higher cost of premium fuel.
And no, cars that only require regular fuel will not run better on premium. In fact, some of the additives in premium fuels can create deposits on valves, etc. when run in an engine designed for regular.
