Try 87 Octane, if it does not "ping" excessively you should be OK, If it does "ping" try 89 Octane
A 2002 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo takes 91 octane gas or higher. The manufacturer's recommended octane for this car will also be listed on the inside of the gas cap.
what octane gas do you need for a 2003 nissan maxima se
unleaded gasoline. 87 octane or the lowest grade.
87 octane
The owner's manual for the 1973 Beetle recommends a MINIMUM of 91 octane gas. So if your gas station is like mine, that means you have to put in the "expensive stuff". Of course, your beetle will run okay with the "cheap stuff", but if you go against what's recommended, you can decrease the life of your engine.***It is very important to use 93octain. This is for all early VW air cooled engines. The higher the octane the cleaner the burn. I blew an engine with the cheep gas once and never again.
Probably, yes. Gasoline comes with different octane ratings because some engines require a higher octane to prevent pre-ignition ("pinging" under acceleration or on hills). Check your owner's manual. Also, you can experiment with lower-octane (and therefore less expensive) gasoline. If you do not experience pinging with 87 octane gas, then that is all you need.(Technically, a higher-octane gas burns slower than lesser-octane gas, but that is beyond the scope of this question.)
There is no octane in gasoline... it is the equivalent of octane.
The grades gasoline are the different octane ratings, the cheapest gas has the least octane. The lower the octane in the gasoline, the faster it will burn. High performance cars need high octane fuel.
No reason to use it. It does not increase power output. Mowers are designed to run on regular octane gas, and do not need higher octane numbers.
You only need regular 87 octane, that it.
