Loved every mile on the 2015 as well.*** This item can not be shipped directly to CA due to current CARB restrictions ***Įxtreme Turbo Systems is proud to introduce the first intake for the 2022+ WRX platform. I do drive like an old man commuting, most of the time and like a crazy young adult a bit here and there. I am getting really good MPG compared to what is stated, average around 26-28, which for the amount of fun I am having, it is a bargain. Both of my cars have been bone stock, if I get any aftermarket I will switch to the highest octane possible for sure. I will likely do the same I did before, run on 87 most of the time, go to 93 if needed or if the weather is cold and the air is more dense so I don't run lean. Now I bought the 2022 WRX, the manual clearly states that 87 is fine, it will not cause damage and more importantly will not void the warranty. That car story ended with a hurricane putting a tree on top of the car. I drove it for 175k miles with little issues, if the engine showed any issues I went back to 93, put some fuel injector cleaner and done. When it was cold I rather pump a higher octane but I live in a pretty hot climate place so 87 worked really well for me. I had a 2015 WRX and pumped 87 on it regularly. If they made a wrx hatch again, I wouldn't even give the decision a second thought. I am die hard hatchback fan, but with the wrx being fine on 87, it's a hard sell going with the vw over the subaru, especially living in a country where half the year, the road is covered in snow lol This pretty much seals the deal for me, I was going back and forth and kinda fell off the wrx train in favor of the mk8 gti being a hatch rated at 87 with better fuel economy, but after looking into the GTI's reliability track record (hint: it ain't great) and finding out 87 can be run in the wrx just fine (at reduced performance), I'd much rather have worst gas mileage and AWD in a solid reliable package that I know will hold together rather than driving a ticking time bomb of repair bills. Here is the manual, flip to page 463 (marked as 471 on the file reader) to see the info. Similar thing with the current WRX but with 91 and 87. Recommends 93, but 91 works fine with no engine damage, just slightly detuned. It's very similar to how the sti handles gas. It actually is! I originally had a hard time finding it, which is part of the reason for the post, but I finally found the 2022 wrx manual, and on page 463, although it states that the fuel requirement is 91, it mentions in a side note that 87 can be used if 91 is not available. I realize that there will be a slight decrease in performance and that premium fuel is recommended to get the full power out of the car, but if I have a fairly mundane day of driving ahead and don't plan to really use the full power of the vehicle during those times, is there a cost saving benefit to using 87 octane or would that cost saving be negated by 87 being less efficient? One thing I've started to notice in various articles and videos is that the 2022 WRX can actually take 87 Octane without any damage done to the engine. Despite the worst fuel economy that AWD brings, I feel like it's a worthy trade off to have a performance car that will actually perform well all year long and not just for 6 months of the year lol. I live in Canada, and with that comes snow for about half the year. I am currently looking at affordable performance cars to upgrade to for next year and the 2022 WRX among others were one of the possibilities I've been looking into.
