I might be making a trip back home to visit my parents soon. It's 1031 miles door to door each way. Has anyone run a long trip without running premium in the R? I know the GTI will run on crap gas, but curious how the R handles it. I'm fine paying 50 cents a gallon extra for day to day driving, but for a 1000 mile trip sitting at 80-85 and getting around 27 mpg (estimated on what I get on the highway) it's still around 75 gallons of gas. Which is about an extra 50 bucks for the trip using premium.
Bad idea? Doesn't matter? Anyone done this?
