Luckily it's a Subaru, so he can run regular gas without it blowing up
any sooner than it otherwise would've ;)
Both my Subarus ( 2000 Legacy and 2003 WRX ) blew their headgaskets
before 60,000 miles, and I'm not nearly alone. Something like half of
that generation Legacy production with the EJ25 suffered a blown HG inside
80k. At least Subaru warranted that one... the WRX (EJ20T) they just
disowned, and dared me to sue them.
