#13785 of 14573 Direct injection news by rsholland Feb 19, 2009 (5:53 am)
It looks like Subaru will get help from Toyota for direct injection, which will be on their upcoming coupe (and all boxers, I'm sure) beginning in 2012. http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/18/toyota-subaru-fr-sports-car-code-named-086a-w- ill-include-direct/ That's both good news and bad news. It's good news that Subaru will be getting DI; it's bad news in that it's taking so long to get here.

Replying to: rsholland (Feb 19, 2009 5:53 am) Right now Toyota uses DI in the 2GR engines in most Lexus models but not in V6 Toyotas. So we may see them only at higher price points, even in 2012.

Replying to: ateixeira (Feb 19, 2009 9:21 am) I'm pretty sure Nissan uses DI on the Rogue, which is a price-sensitive vehicle. I expect to see Subaru use DI across the board eventually.

Replying to: rsholland (Feb 19, 2009 10:02 am) It seems to be taking Subaru a while to get DI into its engines. When it does, DI, and hopefully improved AT's or CVT's, will improve Subie's MPG and overall efficiency. They would let me consider a newer version of the Forester, assuming those improvements get to that model line.

Replying to: rsholland (Feb 22, 2009 12:38 pm) Not around me. Per gasbuddy.com, lowest prices for my zip are: $1.79 for regular $2.06 for premium $2.39 for diesel Still 34% than the cost of regular gas. That just about offsets the 20-40% efficiency gains. I compare to regular because let's face it, anyone shopping for fuel economy would look for cars that don't require premium fuel. At least diesel is affordable again. For a while there is stayed over $3.
