All-New 2022 Subaru BRZ Makes Global Debut - Page 110 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

It happens, frequently. You're on a road trip, pull up to some old gas station, out of gas, only 87 in stock. Loan your car out an unsuspecting person, they put in 87. And of course, just variations of gas and gas quality.

I mean, would I put in 87 and then go thrashing it at a track? No, but could I put 87 and finish the last leg of a road trip? I wouldn't think twice about it.

Do I expect it to run at optimal levels? No, just like I would expect it run less optimally if I was stuck in gridlock traffic in 100+ degree weather in altitude.

I've had 87 in mine twice. Once was the very first tank. The dealer filled the tank on delivery and I later found out they put 87 in it. Second time was during the pipeline break on the East Coast when fuel availability dropped to nothing, and you took what you could get. I ran two tanks then.

In both cases, I could tell no real difference, and the car seems to have survived it.

I mean, putting in 87 isn't a valve recall situation after all.

The knock detection retards timing to protect the STOCK engine. I don't think it works for 87 fuell and 12 PSI boost though.

couldnt you just dump some octane booster in with some 87 if you had to?
I mean i still wouldnt wind it out with this type of fuel mix that but if you needed some higher octane without any available wouldnt this be a stopgap solution?

I start to like it but still not a fan of the headlights.

Love the STI fender and Wing!

The wing is to die for, the front bumper is vomit inducing.

Put that wing on the GR86 and oh man.

Those photos above with some optional accessories...are not great. Make it look way too cluttered.

Why no this Subaru & Toyota?

Since the 86 was just revealed, I have to admit this time I'd gravitate more towards the brz.

The lower fascia fits more with the headlights and I'm not a fan of the colored interior and black wheels and mirrors of the 86. I was expecting a larger difference in headlight desing and maybe different dash graphics, but the brz boot animation is less annoying than the spinning 86 logo.
