Standard unleaded petrol is 91. Premium unleaded is both 95 and 98. The ethanol-blended E10 (a mixture of up to 10 per cent ethanol in petrol) is a substitute for 91 in most cars 2005ish or newer. If you open the fuel flap of your car and it says ‘unleaded petrol only’ it means 91 octane fuel is OK.

What causes no start, no run Subaru Forester?
Your 02 Forester has a MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor. It can cause a no start, no run, but doesn’t usually cause the intermittent problems seen with a contaminated MAF sensor strip. The TPS (Throttle position Sensor) can cause this, but when I have seen them do it, Subaru’s usually set a code.

Why does my Forester sputter when water hits it?
If you have swirched stations and get exactly the same result odds are it is not water. If you have water stay in the gas it stays on top of the fuel. Every time you run down to the same level the car sputters. You can also have it sputter on hills when the water hits the pickup.
