What gas does the 2017 Subaru WRX take?
The EPA rates every 2017 Subaru WRX engine on premium gasoline - Subaru recommends or requires premium, and the label inside the fuel door says which.
Key takeaways
- 3 EPA-certified configurations listed for the 2017 Subaru WRX.
- Rated on premium: if the owner's manual says premium required, use premium; if it says recommended, regular works with some loss of power and economy.
- None of the listed engines is flex-fuel, so do not use E85.
