Right, this is a 2018 Outback with a H6. The manual calls for 87 octane. 87 octane has more energy than 91-92-93 octane, but then ethanol also, I believe, reduces octane (so is it 87 with the ethanol or is it 87 octane w/10% ethanol).

I'll probably use the non-ethanol 92 for the Boxster when we take that out there, but I guess from now on, I'll go with 87/10 when we take the outback.
