When I went to the dealer, he said the engine in his '04 Sportback LS was a 2.0 liter. However, online, it's often listed as a 2.4 that's available. Is there any way I can be sure which it really is? It'd be nice to know and I'm not sure which to believe. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. Could you tell me if it can take the higher grade ethanol fuels? Or is it limited to unleaded 87?

I probably phrased my question wrong. For example, in North Dakota, there's a fuel mix available that's (to my recollection) 40 or 50 percent ethanol mixed with gasoline. Hahah, I didn't mean reacing fuel, though I could see how it would be understood that way. : )

EDIT: I checked and it's called E85.

a mixture of 10 % ethanol and 90%unleaded may be used,provided the octane rating is at least as high as recommended for unleaded gasoline.

octane requirement:

vehicle (mitsu.)design to operate at min. octane rating 87 and octane rating 91
mixed w/ 10 % is o.k.

Just to be a pain I'll point out a miniscule detail ...The ralliart package is 162 HP and 162 torque. The LS is 160 HP and 160 torque. The 2.4 was not an option, it was standard equipment on the Sportback.
