    Carsguide Managing Editor - Head of Video Matt Campbell had this to say at the time: Which one of these SUVs appeals most to you might depend on your specific requirements, and what you prioritise most.The Subaru Forester Hybrid L is a very practical mid-size SUV in plenty of ways, but our testing showed some shortcomings in terms of both the drive experience and the real-world fuel use. It’s not a very hybrid hybrid at all - and depending on who you are and what you like, that might be exactly what you want.

    Subaru Forester 2020 FAQs

    Is it worthwhile using premium fuel in an engine that doesn't need it?

    The short answer is no, the extra cost is not justified in a vehicle that does not require premium unleaded. While some premium fuel products do contain detergents to help keep an engine internally clean (which is the basis of the claim you heard) the major difference (and the reason PULP costs more) is to do with the octane rating of the fuel.

    Put simply, engines in a higher state of tune require this higher octane rating to produce their potential and well as avoiding internal damage. Your Subaru, meanwhile, is tuned to be quite happy on standard 91 RON ULP, and filling it with the more expensive premium brew is a waste of money. You might gain a small improvement in performance and/or economy, but not enough to offset the higher per-litre price of PULP, and probably not enough to even notice.
