Due to 95 and 98 RON fuel not being available in W.A. at the moment we would
suggest if you have either, half or a quarter of a tank of 98 RON fuel
currently, you may wish to fill the tank with 91 RON fuel and drive at moderate
speeds without any towing, but keep in mind once you have exceeded the use of
this fuel we suggest not to drive the fuel on a 91 RON fuel or excessive engine
damage may occur, as for additives to be added to the fuel tank Subaru Australia
does not recommend the use of octane enhancing additives.

Hoping this information is of assistance to you and than you for writing to
feedback at Subaru.

This is what I got from Subaru regarding the fuel shortage.
That's interesting... My email from subaru says it is ok to run my MY05 on 91?

Although I only have a WRX and not an STI, if that makes any difference.

Dear John,

Thank you for your recent email to feedback at Subaru,

In relation to your enquiry, relating to the running of your vehicle on a lesser RON it is fine to run on a 91 RON fuel, this is able to be achieved in the short term as long as you do not tow or use heavy acceleration to cause the engine to ping in relation to extreme circumstances until the 95 or 98 RON fuel becomes available.

Hoping this information has been of assistance to you and thank you for writing to feedback at Subaru.
