Default 2001 WRX PPP - Fuel?

Will a PPP equipped Impreza run ok on normal unleaded or does it HAVE to have super?

It will run, but don't cane it. Try to stay mostly under boost until you can get a tank of decent stuff in it. Invest in a can of OB to keep in the boot just in case in future.

It is recommended to run the PPP on super unleaded to gain the maximum performance/economy out of the car, you can run it on unleaded but you will find both the previous reduced.

ALL newage Impreza's must have super unleaded, whether PPP or not.

Only STi's require super as standard, WRX's can happily run 95 octane fuel

My 02WRX has a sticker on the petrol flap recommending super unleaded. I've run it on 95ron a few times, and then seen the CEL flash under load, although this could be coincidence...
