i run my car on just regular grade fuel and never had a problem... did the same with the jetta and never really noticed a difference.

i dont think its a noticeable difference anyway. but maybe one of our more experienced tib owners will correct me.

It has been covered ALOT. Use regular, if ure tuned for premium use premium.

With higher octane theres a slower burn with more anti knocking properties. Basically just use regular. If u do major mods like turbo or hi comp or cams etc then ure prolly gonna use premium. But that depends how ure a/f ratios are etc
