Yikes, this whole time i thought the floorboards were supposed to boost that way! Little did I know that it's from the wrong fuel!!!
There's so much information littered across this manual, that depending on what page you start from you get a different message.
Pg 423
"If you use gasohol in your SUBARU, be sure that it has an octane rating
no lower than 93 AKI."
Pg 421
"Using a gasoline with a lower octane rating can cause persistent and heavy
knocking, which can damage the engine."
But in anycase, I found the one sentence you are referring to that says
Pg 421
"If 93 AKI (98 RON) fuel is not readily available in your area,
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 AKI (95 RON) may be
used with no detriment to engine durability or driveability."
Those statements are in direct opposition to one another but I'll be sure to point to that one should anything bad happen.
