Mid grade 89 fuel...
Anyone using regular or mid-grade 89 octane fuel in their 2.0T gas/petrol Eos? And if so, do you hear any pinging? So far, all I have used in mine is the 91 octane. I figure at a little over a buck extra a tank for 91 octane, it's cheap insurance from screwing up the engine with deposits.
Still, with the price of gas hitting new highs almost daily, it might be nice to have the option of burning slightly cheaper fuel. If I were to get into that game, I think I would only do it on road trips that involve very little stop and go driving.
We have a 99 Acura TL that recommends premium fuel, but sometimes on a road trip, we drop back and use 89 octane and have never had any pinging.
