RE: What gas do you use?
87 w 10% ethanol.
I talked to a local performance guru who had been racing cars for 30+ years and owns a major import shop in wisconsin. He said that I should not have any issues related to 87 because the 1.8t does not create any real power when stock which would necessitate a higher octane.
No running issues whatsoever.

I dunno but i think if the manufacturer says 91 you should prolly get 91. Even though it doesnt make alot of power its a turbo so the compression is higher which is what the octane ratings all about. But if your not havin any issues than good luck for the future.ORIGINAL: Al_
