I have a question regarding fuel octane for my Subaru Crosstrek (naturally aspirated engine). The owner's manual recommends using high-octane fuel (Premium/Extra), but I currently live in an area that sits at 8,200 feet (2,500 meters) above sea level.

From what I understand, at higher elevations, the atmospheric pressure is lower, which reduces the risk of engine knocking. Consequently, the engine's octane requirement drops as well.

Given this context: Is it actually worth spending the extra money on Premium gas? Or is it safe to run Regular fuel at this altitude without affecting performance or risking long-term engine damage?

I'd love to hear from any Subaru owners living at high altitudes. What has your experience been?

Thanks in advance!

Hola todos, he notado que algunas veces al aparcar la Crosstrek, cae agua al piso, inspeccione y vi que el agua sale de esa manguera negra que se ve en la imagen. Debería preocuparme o es normal esa agua que sale que no es mucha ni constante, pero mejor preguntar y prevenir que arreglar.

Gracias de antemano

Nunca he sabido que hacer para que la señal de la TDT sea más estable, si la dichosa antena se mueve un milímetro, o la mascota pasa cerca empieza a joder, se congela y es una tortura volver estabilizar la señal. Que tipo de antena usanm
