Subaru authorizes the use of 87 octane regular unleaded in the 2.0 liter Direct Injection twin scroll turbo engine in the 2014 and newer Forester XT's. Granted, they say you won't get rated fuel economy nor will you get the rated 268 hp. Over on subaruforester.org someone posted correspondence from Subaru Canada confirming it will not void warranty either. 91 octane or above premium is shown as "recommended" not "required."
I am looking at new XT's at the moment, is why I took notice of this most unusual situation.
I find this fascinating, they must really have that engine sorted.
