I've been using Shell 98 and for every 4 tanks, I put in one
tank of V Power... but really dont think it's the petrol,
especially since the manual indicates that Ron 95 is good
enough.
I also agree that many sales rep at subaru dont really know their
stuff... I decided on my car based on my own research and the 1st
sales rep i met actually gave me many 'errors' in the specs that
the fella gave me! I re-checked and found that my initial research
was right!
My eventual sales rep also not very knowledgable, but I paiseh to
change again... so... and she gave me good bargain.
My friend met a Deane, who knew the cars very well tho' guess its a
matter of 'heng sueh'.
Guess you bought a lemon from subaru... btw what colour is your
forester? got any freebies from them?
