what kind of gas do you guys use?

[burbank2broward]

just curious on this. i normally just put regular but once this tank goes to E im going to try and use premium and see if i notice any drivability difference.

many threads on your topic.. search and u will find!

BUT

2.5L engine is fine on regular but 2.0T engine needs premium gasoline ONLY!
.. and u will deff feel the difference

euro is right. I will add that I would recommend using premium whenever you feel like your wallet can support it. I throw in premium most of the time anyway because it is better for your car.

Premuim will make no difference on the 2.5L as it is designed to run on regular.

i usually put in the mid grade and if im feeling like i have some extra cash lying around ill fill up with premium. but really cant notice any difference

Here is an article clarifying what can change with premium vs. regular. Better performance for sure, not to mention the detergents are better for the life of your car. If you don't care, dont put it in. But there is definitely differences.

I don't know what the dealer put in, but i know i put in the highest grade possible when i fill up.

Premium since the second week I owned the car. I've read other articles similar to the one ChiGuyGolf2.5 posted and it seems worth the extra few dollars per tank.

shell v-power, always. if i'm not near a shell and have to fill up, then bp 93. but always always premium.

 

[J-Cooz]

Regular with the odd tank of premium.

 

[mkvince]

I use 93 all the time, mostly Shell or Mobil. I prefer Shell but it just happens that Mobil is 2 blocks from me. Other times when I need gas and neither is near by, I would go with BP or Sunoco. I never use Getty, Gulf, etc, and I hate Lukoil .

I get 93. I try to get it from Costco whenever I can.

Premium in my 2011 Golf always, not sure what the dealer filled it with before I took delivery.
