File it wherever you want. Thought my situation might be helpful since it is relatively high milage vehicle. Dealer maintained, no mods, premium fuel. Symptoms were clattering noise (like a bad valve) approx 5 min before fail, engine light, engine to idle, then engine stop. Strong gasoline odor. Eventually towed to dealer who ordered parts and repaired, and provided rental at no cost. I love my car. I have owed similar cars throughout my life beginning with an Alfa Spyder at age 20 (in 1962 if you feel that to be relevant). I don't think the car is under powered. I didn't buy it to drag race I bought it to DRIVE. I don't look forward to changing the plugs. In all fairness to Toyota, the word is Subie is not going to improve the FP situation. I went through this with BMW and they FIXED the pump design. Hope this helps someone
