Do I need to use premium fuel in my Volkswagen Tiguan?

I just bought a Volkswagen Tiguan and I'm wondering if I need to use premium fuel or if I can use regular unleaded gasoline. Any advice?

While Volkswagen recommends using premium fuel for optimal performance, you can use regular unleaded gasoline without causing damage to your Tiguan's engine. However, using premium fuel may improve your vehicle's fuel efficiency and reduce engine knocking.

I've been using regular unleaded gasoline in my Volkswagen Tiguan for years and haven't experienced any issues. It's ultimately up to your personal preference and budget.

Using premium fuel may provide a slight increase in horsepower and acceleration for your Tiguan, but it may not be worth the extra cost. Consider your driving habits and whether the potential benefits outweigh the added expense.
