As the title states I was wondering on what you guy's thoughts are on using 87 vs 91 octane fuel in the GTI. When I purchased the car I suspected it took premium gas (91) as all the previous GTI's have required premium, but to my surprise on the gas door is says 87 as well as in the owners manual.
I was wondering if you guys have any input on what I should be using as I've heard people say to follow the fuel door requirement (87) and others say use premium. One of my friends who works at Volkswagen told me to actually use regular since it takes it, as well as another friend who owns an older GTI. So I'm a little stuck on what to be using. I don't mind paying the premium price as I suspected it required it upon purchase, but if there is no real benefit to doing so I might as well save some money in the long run. Thoughts?
